<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=-1>In a world splintered by deep and
destructive divisions, the search for wholeness, harmony, and health has never
been more acute. However, experience has proven that genuine peace will never be
attained through the elimination of chaos, confusion, and conflict.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=-1><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=-1>Twenty years' experience with Open
Space Technology tells us that, given the right conditions, peace will arrive
all by itself. We have seen groups of all sorts and sizes (from 10 to 2,000
people) deal with hugely complex and conflicted issues productively in an
environment of respect, hope, trust-and even a degree of intimacy and
affection-among prior sworn enemies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=-1><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=-1>In this module you will experience
and learn to apply the powers of self-organization in our search for peace. Each
session will begin with a brief presentation by Harrison Owen. This module is
for anyone wanting to release the creative, productive, and healing power of
self-organization in their organization or community.</FONT></DIV>
