Juan Luis goes to the Open Space Learning Workshop in December

Tue Oct 19 09:52:57 PDT 2010

Sending a big hug to Juan Luis knowing that he indeed represents a big community of Latin-American guys and (gals:-)). And I’m sure none of us can ever say enough about our “Fairy Godmother”. Gotta go now. I have an important donation to make to a really good cause!!!  Suzanne

I don't know Doug if it is "Hoist" or "Host", probably both. What I know is why for me Lisa Heft more that "Access Queen" is my lovely "Fairy Godmother".
And in the most profound sense I think that all these gifts that Lisita is projecting, more than for me (that I have had sufficient already) it is for those members of our "CHOSonOS" host team that has less experience with Open Space, and also for all the others Latin-American guys that has "a good head and a good heart" for learning more about OST (I'm thinking for example in Elisabeth Tepper of Venezuela and Jaime Pedreros from Peru and Bolivia). The great purpose of all of us is to get a large turnout of people from throughout the region to our next WOSonOS in Chile, also maintaining the already high standard participation of the northern countries. In this sense we believe the next world event can become a milestone for our beloved community.
Love & peace,
Juan Luis Walker

Lisa--

Wonderful post and I hope Access Queen and the Host team get lots of donations.

As I read your post, the phrase "Host Team" popped out at me. I first thought I read the words "Hoist" Team--which seems appropriate in light of the 33 miners!

Then I noticed that OST was the main part of the word HOST. So I saw some possible word play here. ¿Anybody want to carry this further?
<grin>
