<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Recently, I went to a seminar called "Art of
Hosting and Convening Meaningful Conversation" in Slovenia with about 30
international participants. In this seminar, Open Space Technology
(OST) was introduced and used in the entire seminar. OST is
an operating system or method.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the seminar, all of us challenged our leadership
skill and learning together in the community (all partcipants). It was a
fantastic learning experience! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OST creates 'space' for people who are interested
to join you not just for discussion, but about doing something! OST is about
freedom, responsibility and trust. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the last day of the seminar, I challenged myself
to be the 'host' of one session (we called the trainer/facilitator/chair in this
seminar as 'host', host is someone who creates a intent or purpose for
the entire session and then invite people for certain discussion). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I felt the energy or magic being a host and using
OST. The energy came from the community. I understand now what is
about responsibility, freedom, trust, conversation, creativity, passion,
heart and patience (thanks Alenka!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was crying at the closing of this session....
crying because I was so lucky to be there, crying because I saw
the essence of life, crying because I saw how OST can improve my life and
my family's, my friends' and my community in Malaysia. I am coming home for
good!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I was one of the lucky one, I would like to
deliver my 'luck' to you...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a seminar called "Learning Village" is
going to be held at Castle Borl, Slovenia from 6th-12th July. Art of Hosting
seminar was at Castle Borl too. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can check on the website <A
href="http://www.borl.org">www.borl.org</A> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Learning Village has been organised the 3rd year in
a row now. OST will be used as operating system. The fee is 150euro not
including accommodation. We can sleep in the castle as it is the cheapest way
:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am going there to further enhance my hosting
skill of OST. I am inviting you to join me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you cant join me but are interested, I attached
the website for your reading.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Take care!</FONT></DIV>
