Thankyou. I gave a plug to wosonos here in Berlin maybe you will get
some more people because of our OS here!
Sad I can't be there.

My reflections afterwards on my first Open Space were
Ground yourself each morning before the event-have a ritual that works for
you
Stick with the process-it works-when any self doubt creeps in read the book
to ground you
Hold space open
Don't get involved or get in the way
Wear flat-ish shoes when walking the circle-walk slower than you think
Be clear about the evening news/ opening and closing events
Be prepared to let go of any action planning formula's you may have
It was scary and exhilarating all at the same time
Go for it -IT WORKS and people love it :-)

Hello, Lovely OS People,
In June, I'll be opening space for the first time, at a small but hopefully
perfectly formed UK conference. I've attended OS sessions before, and I've
read the book - marvellous, Mr Owen - but I thought I'd post here and ask
what advice you guys would give a first-timer about OS.
Cheers!
Jen
