[OSList] WOSonOS 2011, WOSonOS 2012

[Phelim]

Lisa,

And all,

It's great to hear your excitement here in new York, where Matilda and I are at present. It's so inspiring to hear of all your supportive work in building the Chile and Spanish speaking OS community. We are sad we can't make it in person to see our friends.  However, we feel supported in you looking after our invitational flame and are thankful you will be representing us in Chile to the world for our UK 2012 Wosonos. 

The host team is currently getting into gear and concurrent to Lisa making the invitation on our behalf in Chile we will have a web page up for early registration. 

As someone who has attended WOSonOS and OSonOs events I know they can can be truly inspiring in so many respects- not least I have made lifetime friendships from them. So if anyone is still thinking whether they should or shouldn't go I encourage you to follow your hearts! 



Love

Phelim X

To celebrate culture and community and our differences and our interconnection.

> I recall that magical moment in Berlin at WOSonOS 2010 when Matilda you invited on behalf of the performing arts community who have been using Open Space for years now in an ongoing experiment of collaboration and co-creation. Matilda engaged us all in a lovely improvisational partnering exploration that truly invited us all to embody the creative interconnection and culture of the performing arts Open Space community.

> For anyone who wishes to invite for a future year but cannot make it to a WOSonOS - it is one of our traditions to represent you if you cannot be there in person to invite for a future year - so do let me know if you wish to do some inviting this year and of course the offer remains for whenever you feel you are ready to invite. Sometimes it takes a while to grow a regional community of practice and then you may feel ready to invite.  I am happy to help and have happily represented others to invite on their behalf - and have also been represented when it was I who could not get to a WOSonOS but wanted to invite.
