<div><font face="Palatino">Hi friends of OST and the
world......</font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino">We had a wonderful learning
experience this summer with a 6 days open Space learning exploration
at Castle Borl in Slovenia with 80 people from around the
world..</font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#6779B5"><b><br></b></font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#6779B5"><b>We truly experienced OST
as a deep operating system - that could include any part of a
"living together village experience" - where art,
leadership and daily life became a conscious learning experience for
all who took an active part</b></font>......</div>

<div><font face="Palatino" color="#6779B5"><b>WHAT WILL WE BE
GATHERING AROUND?</b></font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">The Open Space has at its
core the question:</font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000"><b>"What is the future
I envision and what is my urge and commitment to make it
happen?"</b></font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">We believe that this
question is likely to invite us into a variety of themes and issues,
where you can connect with others around the what, and how, of
actually beginning to co-create a different future.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">BUT NOTE, this is not
merely an event where we get together to talk about how things can be
different. We also wish to create an EXPERIENCE of that future. For
three to seven days Castle Borl will be a community of practice in
which we will be able to experiment with different ways of being and
working together.</font></div>
<div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">And each one of us holds a
responsibility to make this happen, including you.<br>
To help you join this co-creative flow, we have included our design
principles below. We hope you will join us!<br>
