[OSList] Chile in October WOSonOS...

[Artur Silva]

Like
Suzanne, I could see the repeated and passionate invitation from Juan Luis
Walker, in WOSonOS 2010, in Berlin, to organize WOSonOS in Chile this year,
and, for the first time, in Latin America. I also noticed his emotion when he
finally received the WOSonOS talking stick.

I had the privilege of accompanying the marvelous work that Juan Luis did in
the creation and leading of the organizing team and preparing a lot of pre
WOSonOS training - I hope that all his work on that will be fully recognized.


So, and also as a co-inviter, I joint my humble voice to Suzanne and Harrison.
If you can, go to WOSonOS in Chile. Every WOSonOS is different, but each one is
a marvelous experience. So, be prepared to be surprised.


This applies to every one of you, but I would say that for those living in
Latin America this is a marvelous opportunity to get to know WOSonOS that you
can't fail.

Unfortunately,
for professional and health reasons, associated with the long trip flight this
would imply, I will not be able to be present. I am quit unhappy with that and
for not being able to meet Harrison again and to see Juan Luis opening the
space in Spanish (a language that is so close to mine that I understand 90%)
and for all the other experiences that WOSonOS and Chile will make possible.  
But
I expect to go to the next WOSonOS, in London, next year, and to go someday to
Santiago, to see the fruits of WOSonOS and especially the ones that OST can add
to the current pacific students movement in Chile - that reminds me of Paris,
1968, even if this version is much more controlled.
 
With
Care and Best Whishes

 A shared invitation to my World wide friends and colleagues,

I did not feel that I could justify the trip to Chile for the WOSonOS and yet I so wished to go. I held in my heart the vivid memory of Juan Luis Walker's invitation at the WOSonOs in Berlin last year, walking the inside of the circle extending a passionate invitation to choose Chile for 2011, a first in South America for this World gathering. 

I visited the website and it was so beautifully done.  Easy to navigate and the all-inclusive pricing options for lodging, food and conference were so reasonable. I could feel the same spirit of welcome that I had felt as Juan Luis chanted "Chile, Chile, Chile".  
www.wosonoschile.cl 

I knew many friends would be there and many new people too. I imagined the conversations around a very relevant question: 

"What are the main challenges and opportunities of Open Space Technology in Latin America and the world?"

I saw the good work of Access Queen there again to help defray costs and to invite contributions; I noted the pre-work training before and after the conference.  I saw the photos of this beautiful country and I knew I just had to go!

And in the end, I also knew that the sharing that would happen in Chile would infuse me with knowledge, friendships and a feeling of deep global connectedness with others who passionately believe in opening space in all kinds of places. 

So as I have been all along since I met Open Space, I was impulsive again and I bought a seat sale ticket to Chile. The heartwarming response from Juan Luis and the host team convinced me immediately that I had made the right decision. So what I have to say to my pals out there is perhaps you can do as I did; taking another look at your schedule, checking your budget, visiting the website and letting your heart lead you to Chile for the first WOSonOS in South America.  

In a spirit of shared invitation,
Suzanne
