[OSList] Travelling in the spirit of Open Space

[Thomas Herrmann]

Dear friends in Open Space
I am just on the final hours of a journey with my motorbike (actually when sending this email I've been home for a couple of days). The journey started on August 18th when I took off from our house in Kungsbacka just south of Göteborg in Sweden. I went up to Oslo in Norway to facilitate a 3-day OST training for 20 employees of a public organization with a mission to support other public organizations across the country to develop betters ways of working… 
Then I went on via Gudbrandsdalen a wonderful part of Norway, to Ålesund where we celebrated the 11th Nordic OSonOS with at a powerful place - a tiny island with a lighthouse. The 11 participants enjoyed great hospitality (txs Hege!) and incredible weather - it had been raining most of the summer there - we brought sunshine and warmth. Participants from Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Denmark. A lovely crowd!

Before going on my bike ride along the fjords I "had to" go back to Sweden - flew to Stockholm - to facilitate two 2-day OST's for a hospital (I shared about them on the list a while ago). Finally landing again in Ålesund I had a magic week traveling the open space way along the fjords of Norway - Kristiansund, Geiranger, Bergen, Stavanger... . I had no real plans, just followed my intuition, exploring the map every now and then to make new decisions. I lived in a tent, youth hostel, hotel, cabin and stayed in the home of two dear OST friends Hege who is on this list and Ingunn in Stavanger. 

For those interested, the motorbike I am driving is an old BMW K1100LT from 1993. Great for touring (-:
