Fr Brian Bainbridge

[Tracey Ezard]

Dear Viv,

So sad to hear this news.  You and Brian trained me in 2006 and I have
always felt very privileged to have had his wisdom in the room with me as I
started on my OST journey...

Best regards
Tracey Ezard

Hello everyone

> Father Brian Bainbridge passed away in his sleep, early morning on
Tuesday, February 2, 2010.  It was a sad surprise to us all - in fact, he
just sent out an Open Space OZ newsletter the evening before.

I am in such shock right now and very, very sad. Brian has been a dear
friend, and mentor for many years and we have been working and playing
together since the early 1990s. Most recently we offered Open Space Training
here in Melbourne, usually once or twice a year. In fact, we were trying to
get dates sorted for this coming March. Brian would often come and have
dinner with us here at Bells Beach. We'd share food, wine and stories. We
travelled together to WOSonOS events in Vancouver, Goa and San Francisco,
and hosted WOsonOS in the now destroyed town of Marysville. Brian went to as
many OSonOs events as he could and always kept me up-to-date with all of the
OS community shenanigans. I have so many great memories of Brian I don't
even know where to start. I will keep you informed of details regarding the
funeral. 

Best

Viv

I am sorry to hear this.  It was wonderful to see him at the WOSonOS in
Taipei last year.  He had a deep understanding of Open Space and practiced
it in his life.  I participated in several events he led, at the IAF Asia
and the HK Facilitators network, and he always led so that the participants
took control.  His quiet presence will be missed.
