Amen Harrison Owen, and Chris, and Barry and all others on your points.
I so much remember Brian Bainbridge having spent my early pioneer days of
OS wonder in the presence of his GIANT Spirit alongside Harrison Owen the
INEFFABLE Soul. I can remember the settings, especially the cocktail
lounge after day one of the 1992 OSONOS, sitting there, chatting up the
place. I remember Brians remarkably smooth voice and British accent as he
described his work in the Church throughout Europe and how he was
disrupting norms and loving every minute of it. I treasure the memories of
listening intently to the two masters of Spirit. However I do not remember
what I had for lunch yesterday...
Barry, are you Harrison's son? I loved your write up. Especially in
asking the question regarding the training to follow the upcoming OSONOS
that I sadly will be unable to attend. That gave me what I think is a
great idea for you and your pops to ponder, along with the OS Board you
referenced.
As you stated Barry, Harrison did not protect his intellectual property or
he would be a billionaire. Rather Harrison gave it away free to the world
and only asks (as his simple conversation with 7 billion people) for people
to Open Space and share the learning, right? So my idea is to solve the
difficult problem of having to explain what OST is and does and most
importantly: What OST educational training will enable a person to learn;
to do; and to become. So with no further ado here is the idea: Create a
new organization with our Disciples Harrison and Brian in mind to
intentionally ROLL OUT the OST Global Leadership Training Initiative
through the willing seasoned OST practitioners who will become a unified
and organized band of disciples on a mission, and Name this mission:
OPERATION COLLABORATION
Barry, please let me know what you think of this idea. When I got this
lightning bolt of an idea (in Brians accent) I instantly reserved the web
domain: OperationCollaboration.Com and will donate this to the cause if
you and the Leaders on the Board, want to pursue this. I believe this is
Especially needed to ensure that the Open Space Institute or some other
formal entity charged with the HOLY responsibility to carry forth Harrison
Owen's Legacy unto the World to foster Peace and Understanding has to
fiscal wherewithal for this vital business. I love the list serve but think
we need to create this special place where global OST mentors and mentees
can commune. A subscription service with recommended $19.99 per year
subscription fee would then be the launch platform for the real deal
Official OST Leadership Training Initiative
Operation Collaboration.
