Bonjour Daniel,

Welcome to your new home. 

I'm happy you are interested in joining this emerging francophone and francophile group around Open space in Quebec and French Canada. The FoFo organizing group will have a meeting next week so you will soon hear more about a follow-up meeting to the FoFo.

I know and think highly of Helen Patterson with whom I did some OST work. Your work with her, tells me that you are very likely a kindred spirit of this OST community.

I look forward to meeting you soon,

Diane

  bonjour Diane and all,
  It so happens that I am living near Quebec City and really interested to meet up  the next time you all get together.  I am only now reading about your recent coming together.
  I`ve been here for a month.
  I`m living here now for some time I think and come from New Zealand.
  I`ve worked a lot with Helen Patterson.
  and have begun talking with people here interested in working in a new way and am excited at the prospect of doing stuff here.


  Daniel Lebel.

    Bonjour Catherine,

    I'm happy to hear your suggestion of an exchange on OST in Switzerland. 

    The plan is for me to facilitate the French OST training in Switzerland February 13 to 15. The plan is also for me to facilitate an OST training in Lyon France on Jan 30 to Feb 1st. I'd be delighted to participate to any kind of exchange in French on Open Space outside the training sessions. Let me know what works for you. 

    Diane

        Greetings


        -The First OS on OS in French was held on September 14, 15, and 16 2007 in Val-David in the Laurentians, near Montréal, Québec, Canada; 


        - 30 participants responded to the invitation; 


        - September 14, on a sunny afternoon sitting by the lake, storytelling took place on the topic of our best OST stories, using the circle and the talking piece; 


        - The theme for September 14 and 15 was Reaching New Heights in our Knowledge and our Practices of Open Space; 


        - The theme for September 16 was French-language Networks at the local, national, and international levels; 


        - Three Haitians were offered bursaries from our sponsors.    Unfortunately, they were unable to obtain a visa on time for our event; 


        -The presence of an African Canadian from Alberta representing a multicultural non profit organization was a real gift to the group. When he realized that the spirit and many parts of the Open Space ritual actually originate from Africa, it felt like the Open Space approach had come home and all of us had the privilege of being invited to that warm place; 


        - Sponsors for the events were Open Space Institute Canada, Open Space Institute-USA, World Map, and Auberge Prema Shanti; 


        -The Prema Shanti ( www.premashanti.ca) in Val David Québec was really a magical setting.  The owner Karim was fully connected with the spirit of our gathering;


        -Many times people said: At last, an OSonOS in French with a group of people who share the intention of keeping a French support network alive. A group who wants to take leadership to help disseminate the wonderful Open Space gift to people, to organizations, and to humanity; 


        -The organizing committee was very happy of the experience of this first OSonOS in French and wishes to thank everyone who has contributed to its success; 


        -Those interested are invited to meet October 12 and 13 2007 to further discuss the creation of a French-language network. Details to be confirmed; 


        The organising committee:   Diane Gibeault, Esther Matte, Etienne Beaulieu, Roch Landry, and Marquis Bureau
