[OSList] largest ost?

Tue Sep 23 17:34:29 PDT 2014

Thank you, Harold, for sharing this inspiring video. This is a treasure link
that we will use in the future.

We celebrate the courage and huge risk of those who created the amazing Girl
Scout convention in 2005.

How timely that I just watched our president address the challenges of
climate change.

We continue to experience the dynamics of Open Space and World Cafe as key
models to guide our bio-region in these essential conversations toward our
flourishing, prosperous future.

We find that the leadership is coming from students and other young leaders.

Thank you for modeling the power of all of us together. We are ready!

Hi Raffi, Lisa,

 The 1400+ Open Space event Christine Whitney Sanchez facilitated for the
Girl Scouts was documented in a video on the Open Space Institute's website.
