Hello Friends of Open Space,
What a joy it has been to be a part of this safe space that we have been
creating together in Belfast! We are on day three of seven and today I think
we all began to get into the groove of how to function together in an "open
space".

We have spent the day furthering our theme of "Creating a strategy to
unstick our passion... so that it sticks" by putting our discussion from the
previous day into action. The morning brought a time to review, followed by
a time to implement our discussion into action points.

There were many ideas that we will put into action, here is just a glimpse
of what we will be doing: 
1. A Northern Ireland Passion Political Party (yes, that is NIPPP for
short!)
2. A monthly email reminding participants to live and work with passion
3. Simple get-togethers that encourage us to "be" and not "do"...

We felt the process of putting a days worth of thoughts and ideas into
points of action gave us a real sense of accomplishment and of freedom. The
rest of the day carried a much lighter weight and the following discussion
seemed to have an ease about it that the previous day did not. One of the
reasons that the conversation felt lighter, we feel, stems from the sense of
trust that was developing among us... We were beginning to trust the process
and each other...We were becoming pros at navigating our open space!

The remainder of the day we split into break out groups to discuss the
questions and methods of open space. 

Closed by our usual time of evening news and an invitation to share a
smoothie together at the local coffee shop, I think we all left with a
better understanding of the process and each other! 

Peace,
from your friends in Belfast
