[OSList] OS memorial services?

[Harrison Owen]

James... I think you might argue that every Open Space is a funeral of
sorts. When a group of people find themselves at a critical juncture it is
almost always the case, at least in my experience, that something has died
and needs to be let go of. That may be an idea, a practice, a business
model, a way of life, but  whatever it is it has to be honored and set free,
opening space for the new to appear - which it ordinarily does. Seen in this
light then it is not surprising that tears of sorrow and joy commonly make
their appearance even when the theme was something as mundane as a new
software.

Subject: [OSList] OS memorial services?

 

My grandmother died recently, and I was unable to attend her funeral because
of distance and timing.   I asked if they could record some of the stories
people told, and was told that people felt uncomfortable about that.   

It made me realize that when I die (hopefully not anytime soon...), I'd like
my funeral/memorial service done using OST.   Has anyone ever done this?
Apparently there have been Open Space Weddings...  but what about funerals
or memorials?
