Hi Kari 

As someone who is studying and training in organisational and family constellations at the moment I would say this would be a lovely and deep learning opportunity. 
Thank you everyone who has replied for making my family welcome and I hope to be confirming coming in the next day or so. 
I look forward to meeting you all

>> Hi All,
>> 
>> I have a question. I would love to come to WOSNOS and I have a big world cafe/open space, two day event called the Bath and North East Somerset Youth Climate Summit (see www.greenvisionmovement.org/youthsummit), which takes place on 15th/16th October. It brings together 150 young people from across the county to learn and engage in conversations which lead to action on climate change and other global issues that affect young people today. 
>> As I am organising this event I will need to be around on the Sunday beforehand getting ready and I also have two children and a partner who need support as I get closer to the event (and will be working longer hours). So my question is around whether I could bring my children to WOSNOS. Are there any other children going? I feel like if I came I would get so much out of it even with a big event looming.
>> For me part of what I am looking to do in the future is design learning spaces for young people on the principles of World Cafe and Open space so bringing my children with me to events like this adds energy to that vision.
>> 
>> Can I also put out there that if there is anyone interested in the two day event who are doing similar things in the UK or around the world and would like to come and check it out then it would be a pleasure to have you.
>> Thanks and please let me know if children are welcome and if anyone else is bringing any?

>> I have just now booked my flight and lodging from Florida. By combining the two, got a good rate -- I will be sharing a room which will make the trip even more joyous.  Added a few days to see the historical and Olympic sights of London.
>> 
>> Thank you to the entire WOSonOS organizing Team.  The website is so very beautiful -- artistic, inviting, most informative with welcoming butterflies and bumble bees dancing on the web pages. You can feel the magic of the event by clicking from one postcard link to the other. With another quick search, I was easily able to find information on bus costs, train transportation from the airport and everything. 
>> 
>> I hope many in our OS worldwide community decide to make the trip. Or if not, consider making a small donation. By do so you will be supporting this important Open Space event while experiencing it at a distance either through postings on the OS list or the many summary reports capturing the amazing conversations that will happen there including ideas for action that will carry forward into our OS future.
>> 
>> My trip has already begun!  Look forward to seeing everyone in October and yes of course, I will scribe when I get there knowing that my journalistic side will want to celebrate and share.

>> Hello, all -
>> 
>> Think of how bringing colleagues together in a face-to-face event shifts our thinking.
>> Reflect on how learning - and community - deepen in Open Space as amazing individuals host and attend conversations that enrich their work for others.
>> You know this feeling because you have attended a WOSonOS or OSonOS or have held space for clients, communities and organizations.
>> 
>> Now imagine a few Open Space colleagues acting on their dream to connect with community at the WOSonOS this October.
>> Perhaps you have registered and we will see you there.
>> Perhaps we will see you another year as the WOSonOS moves to another part of the world. 
>> 
>> Now think of a story that many of us have in our cultures - in my culture we call it 'Stone Soup'.
>> It is about the magic of community - the magic of each person adding a little bit of what they have to a pot of bubbling water - to, as a community, create a rich and nutritious stew.
>> 
>> Whether you are joining us or not at this year's WOSonOS - do you have a carrot or onions or precious salt to share?
>> You will be helping some very special colleagues you may not even know - but in whom you believe.
>> Access Queen believes in some incredible people who just need a little extra for pocket money or housing to join us at the WOSonOS.
>> 
>> 20 (currency of your choice), 200, 2000 - know that every bit goes to Access Queen Askers. What is not spent this year goes into the stew pot for next year's Askers.
>> 
>> Perhaps this money is 5 or 10% of your fee from a few of your recent facilitation jobs. 
>> 
>> Perhaps it comes from selling your art or books, having a Global Village Marketplace at your next trainings and events, having a yard sale, teaching dance, making a good meal and having your friends pay for it for charity, or many other creative ways.
>> 
>> Two onions, four carrots, a sprinkle of salt - everything makes a difference.
>> 
>> Here is how you can contribute:
>> 
>> 1) If you are thinking of registering for WOSonOS but have not done so yet: do so now. 
>> Your registration gives the Host Team resources to help them welcome everyone regardless of financial ability.  If you have already registered you can also contact them to add in a little more. http://www.wosonos2012.com
>> 
>> 2) Other ways to contribute toward these amazing OS Askers:
>> 
>> - Log on to your account or create an account at PayPal (http://www.paypal.com) and 'send money' to lisaheft at openingspace.net 
>> (know that sending as 'Personal' / 'Gift' incurs zero processing fee - and please put a note about Access Queen in the notes section)
>> 
>> - Send me a US-bank check (contact me for a postal address and information about what to write on the check). 
>> 
>> - If you are a US citizen and would like a tax deduction for a charitable contribution - you can pay through the Open Space Institute US via PayPal. OSI-US is a 501(c)3 organization. PayPal and / or your credit card company will take a small processing fee out of the amount - however the OSI-US will take zero administration fees for this assist (thank you, OSI-US!). 
>> For donations through OSI-US for Access Queen: please do not donate by check as this creates administrative time on their side and we want to keep them task-free in thanks for their generous assistance.
>> http://osius.org/content/support-access-queen 
>> Most of all - many thanks for the belief you have in others, the passion you have for our learning community across the world, and the generosity you show by sharing what you have.
>> A deep bow to you all (with one hand on my tiara so it does not fall off my very big hairdo)...
