<div>Hello Open Spacers.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Without contributing I have been enjoying reading all the input
- helpfulness and good questions on the list the last
months. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>What is very meaningful for me these days is exploring the
art of hosting a learning field - in thought - in action - in
learning - through Open Space - cafe seminar and other process
tools.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I would like to share the exploration with those of you
who find this burns for you as well.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As a fuse here are my asumptions that I have learned forth over
the years till this point in time - and I am sure more is
underway........</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>looking forward to explore with you......</div>
