[OSList] action planning and closing circle and yet anotherStammtisch...

[Catherine Pfaehler]

Fantastic, loving reports, dearest Anna Caroline. Having shared your flat in
the Berlin WOSonOS last May, reading from you on Sardegna is even more
beautiful. Thank you ever so much.

I'm just back from the WohnGeist general assembly of shareholders, because
of which I couldn't participate in Sardegna. 

And guess what - the WohnGeist team added to the preparation much in an Open
Space way, each taking responsibility for their part without my telling them
what to do exactly, producing a wonderful ambiance, fantastic food and
drinks, and great flip charts. Our shareholders interacted with us much in
an Open Space way as well... Very touching - me, the president of the board,
standing up front stating that I wasn't sure how to proceed now after the
discussion about augmenting the amount of shares, and them giving us the
necessary input which made things much clearer. True and very personal
engagements! 

In the end, I thanked my ex-husband Stefan for sharing the vision of his
life with us all here, and having done this for 20 years now (it's an
anniversary year for WohnGeist). 

What wonderful surprises, after all the stress of the preparation for this
meeting!

As Harrison said - Wherever you are is the right place.

Much love to you all, with fond memories, Catherine

Dear all,

I know that my reporting back cannot put to words what has been happening.
That's why I am happy that you have been experiencing the beauty of OST 
meetings yourself.
One of the participants said in the closing circle: This has been one of 
the most loving and nuturing os of her life.
Others loved how all the connections made reasured them to be one the 
right trail.
Others felt how the Now had expanded.

This meeting has inspired Harrison to the 5th principle. Its first 
version was 'doing less - being more' and the final version is:
Where ever you are is the right place (or space- i'm not quite sure)
This principle shall remind us, that space is opening everywhere all the 
time. Please be concious and aware.
Tahrir Square is one famous example.

The official meeting is over and continues selforganized..
for example tonight again at the Stammtisch.
And if you wonder how to pronounce Stammtisch - Sebastian has the answer:
SHTARM TYSH

Thanks to all the 50 participants, the present but invisible os team and 
Serranella and Gerardo for facilitating the 2nd European Open Space 
Learning Exchange!

much Love
Anna Caroline


p.s. the 3rd OSLEX is planned for 2013 in the Netherlands - and before 
we shall all meet in 2012 at the WOSonOS in London.
