</span>Brendan's learning in Open Space has been enriched by his experiences
with grassroots community groups, teachers, faith-based groups, prisoners,
peace and social justice activists, trade unions, leaders and managers,
government departments AND, most profoundly, from his life experience as a
father of six children where the principles of OS have been amazingly
insightful. Over the years Brendan has collaborated in the planning and
facilitation of retreats, meetings, conferences and gatherings of various kinds.
He values collaboration and cooperation, creativity and <span class=SpellE>humour</span>,
listening and co-learning as ways of assisting people and communities in the
ongoing journey of growth and transition. The spirit and structure of Open
Space provide the framework for much of Brendan's current facilitation practice
through which he seeks to create space for connecting people with each other,
with inspired outcomes and with peace.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
