>     As spin off from my research and book, _an international training

>     workshop focuses on the principles and conditions for success and
>     on how to embed large group meetings in a larger change process.

>     conferences, as member check. An online Open Space and a life
>     Search Conference. Participants recognized the conferences as an
>     innovation in action research, so I wrote an article about it. The
>     title is ‘Practice what you preach. Large group conferences as
