Wow Suzanne! Well written, feels like I was there - which I actually was, and will be again in an hour or so. / Agneta

> Yes as requested and suggested by our faraway esteemed colleagues (Peggy, Christine and others), there were many hugs between many people tonight.  These gestures of affection, deep friendship and shared passion for Open Space matched the hospitality that awaited us.  Creativity, arts, improv, live interviews, special photo shoots, dapper newscaster with proper suit showing lots of hairy leg and a peekaboo speedo, strobe lights, a short stage show featuring none other than Phelim and company looking for the man in the hat, fast asleep behind the curtain, with empty martini glass, a bit of poetry, sign cards, dance and dance cards, the most creative marketplace wall ever seen with post-it notes on the ready, posters hanging from the tall walls, plentiful bite size food tasting...Brits tapas style all delicious, a bit of mime, a giant world map with purchased and handmade post-cards, and sooooo soooo much more. Baby Ridley is there, smiling and Matilda mom, calm as can be. Papa Phelim, who I was meeting for the first time, was more wonderful than I had even imagined him to be (don't blush Phelim...) and the team assembled were "over the top" wonderful in the way of that giant Ferris Wheel in the middle of London town.

> How to describe this theatrical scene that had so much more than what I just spoke of, all of which created the magic of this evening that felt like "pure spontaneous open space"!  We know many hours and much love and welcome went into creating the magic for us and yet as much as there was, as much joy and wonder as it created, it had about it the spirit of the "law of two feet" leaving so much room for the natural energy flow of intimate conversations that seemed to have no beginning, no end, all interwoven and continuous.

> I had worried so about hyperventilating with excitement, wondering if I could be present and calm, knowing the people I would meet, never guessing others who I met (welcome Jasmina Nikolic of Serbia).  The encounters happened in such a graceful way as if we were all family, uniquely connected and cherishing each other. In those encounters tonight, something else that was present for me under the surface, are all the spaces being opened all over the world, historical spaces and everyday spaces. In the most humble way, I felt the great privilege of doing this work and being with others, in person and in spirit, who have found life purpose in Open Space.
