Chris - my warm wishes for rich co-learning in the great workshops you
have just announced.  For anyone who wishes to get down into exploring and
learning about Open Space, specifically, I invite you to join me for the
Open Space Learning Workshops this year in San Francisco.  Several of you,
dear colleagues, have enriched our workshop with your sharing of learning
and experiences - I smile as I think of you and prepare for these next
worskshops. Read on, and thank you in advance for sharing this amongst
your networks and communities.

PS: as I write this I am working in Mozambique, where we (the fabulous
John Engle and I) have used Open Space for a collaborative of agencies to
decide how to spend a billion dollars of HIV/AIDS money in this country,
where it has been used to raise the Mozambican voice in articulating and
impacting where they feel external donor dollars should go, to support and
highlight emergent local leadership, and to bring together everyone from
international agency country directors to the gentlemen who drive the
agency vehicles to discuss together the country's funding assistance plan.
OS is one of those dialogic methods that works so well across cultures and
countries...

Join me for 2.5 days of mutual exploration as we share learning in and
about Open Space.  Together you will discuss and create a theme for an
Open Space meeting, explore the issues and opportunities in your own work,
reflect on how behavior change and grief and loss cycles inform our roles
as facilitators, experience an Open Space, and really delve into all those
elements of pre-work that are essential to the success of an Open Space
event.

Everything from theme to invitation, design, planning, materials,
variations, adaptations for cultural differences (for example in a
non-readers environment), how the site, food and other elements impact or
enhance an event, how to include action planning as needed, 'what-ifs',
'when not to's' and more.

Pricing - as always - is flexible - custom tailored to what you as an
individual can contribute and afford.

I look forward to learning with and from you,

Lisa
