Thanks again all for the supportive energies! This is inspiring to me :)
Next week I will be connecting with an open spacer who has contacted me
saying that they have some ideas about engaging with the Dalai Lama around
OS - I will refresh thoughts after this!
In the meantime, I had a few clarifying thoughts about an approach:
- Create an actual "invitation", ideally with a strong visual (good idea
Dan), that can be hand delivered.
- Invite participation in one specific event that the Dalai Lama and his
office can consider for inclusion in their 2015 schedule of public
engagements
- This is opposed to suggesting that OS could be combined with an
existing engagement that would require 3rd party approval/involvement or
that it could be applied to a broad range of engagements, yet to
be defined.
- Consider having the invitation come from a group of Open Spacers, such
as: The "OS world" community, one or more OS Institutes.
- Perhaps gather signatures if we want to invite as an informal global
community of practice?
- Partner an invitation to the Dalai Lama to speak and to
participate in an OS with an existing event being planned for 2015.
- Ideally an event closely aligned with one of his Three Commitments
<http://www.dalailama.com/biography/three-main-committments>
- If there is no existing event organizer interested in partnering,
consider proposing a stand alone event (yes, I would stand up as a primary
organizer) designed around an important event or day of the year
- International Day of Peace (Sept 21), MLK Jr Day (Jan 19), etc.
- One ambitious idea from my partner, Joe: OS practitioners in
different towns hold individual open spaces in parallel on international
day of peace - Dalai Lama and his community invited to attend
any that are
geographically feasible; utilize an online component to share an
opening by
the Dalai Lama, as well as shared proceedings and maybe video
connect for a
portion of the day.
So....any suggestions for a partner event? takers or thoughts on suggesting
a stand alone event?
