friends and colleagues,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=3><SPAN class=990252402-11042003>I
continue to follow the call of my heart and soul in what I am doing with my OST
work. For me, this evolved to the conscious Open Space Organization, the
Genuine Contact tm program (a vehicle for achieving the conscious Open Space
Organization), and then my understanding that the purpose of this work was to
assist organizations to achieve a foundation of health and balance. In that run
on sentence that I just did, I summarized more than a decade of work with OST
and my own evolvement with it. Recently, we have been focusing on Individual
Health and Balance as well as the Organizational Health and Balance, launching
workshops for both.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=3><SPAN class=990252402-11042003>Today,
the next steps for me are the understanding that I am committed to the Wellness
Revolution for Organizations and I wanted to share my initial writing about this
with you for your comments. I am intending move this work throughout the world,
inviting a different way of thinking for organizations and the people within
them. Through working on health and balance, we achieve harmony. And when we
achieve harmony, we find peace. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
