style="COLOR: teal">On October 7<SPAN
class=312152423-26092005> -10 </SPAN>, 2005, Kairos Alliance
Inc. and a team of extraordinary volunteers will be opening the space
on Governance for up to 2,000 Delegates and inviting thousands of other
convention participants into Strategy Café conversations<SPAN
class=312152423-26092005> at the Girl Scout National Convention in Atlanta,
Georgia</SPAN>. Recently 90+ volunteers gathered in <?xml:namespace

w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State> for Open Space
and World Cafe training for this incredible event, where one of the
members posted a session to “Document the story and the vibe”?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Demonstrating the power
self-organization, this film is well on its way to happening in a very exciting
way!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And we hope you will be
inspired to activate your networks to help. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: teal">After
we got an enthusiastic thumbs up from the CEO of the Girl Scouts of the
United States of America, Kathy Cloninger, we began working with
The Duncan Group to produce a documentary about how Open Space and World Café
invites thousands of Girl Scouts to share what is in their hearts and minds
regarding the strategies for reinventing the Girl Scout Movement.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Duncan Group is </SPAN><SPAN
style="COLOR: teal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">an
award winning independent film and television production company made up of a
team of documentary and feature filmmakers with a background in broadcast
journalism, conservation, history, adventure, and social issue programming as
well as independent feature films.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If you check out their website at <A
href="http://www.duncanentertainment.com/">www.DuncanEntertainment.com</A>
you will find it is full of heart, spirit, diversity and
innovation. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: teal">The end
product, a short DVD, will be primarily used internally within the Girl Scouts
at the national and local levels as a motivational aide and learning
and empowerment tool as well as to further discussions about the future
of Girl Scouting.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A secondary
external audience is the national non-profit circuit, where this film will
showcase how one large non-profit used Open Space Technology and World Café
(large scale self-organizing methods) with a complex transformational
process. "The more that change is real, the greater the case for creating
new ways to bring people together to talk." (Kathy Cloninger, CEO, GSUSA).<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A third audience is comprised of
people/businesses/governments who are interested in how traditional systems
step into the future by tapping the collective intelligence
and releasing passion for action among its members. As Kathy said,
"The gathering of this collective wisdom will shape the direction of this
movement." This film could become a learning tool to inspire and inform
other Cultural Creatives who are looking to make a difference in their
organizations, communities and the world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
