interested in learning more about Appreciative Inquiry and the connection to
Open Space. Here is an opportunity, especially for those in Canada.

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Date: October
13-15, 1999<BR>Location: Centre for Learning at Ghost River Crossing (west
of Cochrane,<BR>Alberta) -- residential program<BR>Cost: $2,630 Canadian
(includes all program material, accommodation, and<BR>meals for 2 nights and 3
days) -- Price in US dollars is $1,756.
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2><BR>The session will provide an indepth
understanding of AI and a chance to<BR>explore how to apply AI philosophy in a
variety of business and personal<BR>settings. Although we expect
participants to have knowledge of AI<BR>philosophy, our experience has shown
that we need to spend more time at the<BR>workshop giving participants more
in-depth knowledge of AI. Conducting an<BR>AI through the session so that
one can experience it, and thinking about the<BR>application of AI for one's
particular situation have provided real<BR>practical value for past
participants.<BR><BR>The workshop will be facililated by Cathy Royal, PhD who
has extensive<BR>experience in the application of AI and has developed the AI
programs for NTL (National<BR>Training Laboratories). I will assist Cathy
in the facilitation, bringing specific<BR>organization-related experiences in
AI.<BR><BR>To register for the program, please email me at <A

telephone me at 403-286-2050. Thanks for your interest and hope to hear
from you soon.</FONT></DIV>
