>>
>> Hello All,
>>
>> A huge leap, a bold move. Later today and this week, we are launching the
>> Virtual Agora Gardens as part of the World Happiness Fest activities. It
>> will be a self-organizing conversational space using the combined
>> technologies of QiQo Chat (where you can choose your garden and topic) and
>> Zoom (where you then engage directly in face-to-face conversations on
>> topics of your choice).  A unique feature of this Virtual Agora (gathering)
>> is that people will be hosting each other. No leaders, facilitators or
>> official hosts. Self-organizing like in nature!
>>
>> You can check out the space and concept here;
>> https://worldhappinessfest.qiqochat.com/cafe
>>
>> All are warmly invited to join this experiment, lending your passion and
>> skills as hosts and facilitators, helping us informally open and hold space
>> for others and with others.  It is free and lasts all week. You can drop in
>> anytime and stay as long as you want.
>>
>> As the planning for the World Happiness Fest was underway, there was no
>> way to predict the alarming and unfolding circumstances of the
>> coronavirus.  The Global Happiness Event is in its third year and has been
>> increasing exponentially. Over the past weeks and month, the planning team,
>> organizers and world hosts have been adjusting, creating and responding
>> with such sensitivity, generosity and heart.
>>
>> With this latest Virtual Garden initiative, it’s also been a race against
>> the clock. What was intended to be a small Open Space experiment,
>> complementing the many activities (presentations, live events, and more) of
>> the World Happiness Fest is now potentially a place and space that will
>> fill an urgent and important need for many.
>>
>> *A bit more background:*
>>
>> The World Happiness Fest Week (March 16th - 22nd)
>> https://www.happinessfest.world/en/ is launching today from Madrid.  All
>> in-person events and presentations *now *“without audience” will be
>> recorded and live streamed free. Many of the in-person Agoras (gatherings)
>> – about 80 around the world have been cancelled or scaled down which will
>> certainly shift the attention to virtual. Many of our colleagues in the
>> Open Space community were/are hosting Agoras where they live: in Canada,
>> Nashville, Spain, India and other places.
>>
>> *Lucas Cioffi*, founder of QiQo Chat and a great friend of Open Space,
>> has worked tirelessly to develop this virtual garden concept with input
>> from our friends and colleagues here and there, along the way.
>>
>> *Luis Gallardo*, Founder and President of Happiness, also an ardent
>> supporter of Open Space, came up with the idea of having a virtual garden
>> setting for this conversational intiative. Luis was at World Open Space in
>> October and he, with core members of his planning team, also attended the
>> Peace and High Performance gathering in New York.
>>
>> This is an excerpt of Luis’ message to a global community a few days ago
>> as their team continued to plan, adjust and respond to the needs and
>> current happenings.* It is in the spirit of his heartfelt words that we
>> are extending this invitation to you. *
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> *Given the almost widespread alarm that is causing the spread of
>> Coronavirus throughout the world, we want to take a very special role, a
>> role of hope in view of fear, and the remembering that we are all
>> responsible for the decisions we make.This is the time when we need
>> positive, calm and aware leadership. It is now when we need to talk about
>> stress, before trauma and after, the impact of negative news on our
>> behavior, the crippling effects of fear and anxiety and its consequences.
>> This is the time to contrast the facts, to learn from the past and to build
>> a future full of hope, because we know that isolation, loneliness and
>> depression are devastating to human beings.We have decided to take
>> advantage of this alarm situation and the celebration of The World
>> Happiness Fest between March 16 and 22, 2020 to set an example and remain
>> the forum we are. We are a forum for reflection on integral human
>> development, on new economic and development models, on peaceful
>> coexistence and the flourishing of all; family, work, school and
>> community.We will keep the agenda online and by video streaming giving free
>> access to anyone who wants to access the contents and wisdom of the experts
>> of our community, and we will enable our online platform so that there is
>> dialogue, from any corner of the planet, without moving from home if it is
>> what you want.*
>>
>> Thank you for your support and feedback. Forgive the bumps along the way.
>> This is truly an experiment and we’ve still got lots to learn and test. But
>> we felt we just had to leap!
>>
>> As always, ever appreciative,
