<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-CA">Well, I have finally managed to fulfill the intention
I set at OSonOS in Halifax.
I would like to announce the birth of a new Open Space blog—Open Space
<span id="st" name="st" class="st0">Sangha</span>. It can be found at <a href="http://www.openspacesangha.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.openspacesangha.blogspot.com
</a>
. This is intended as a group blog—in other words anyone who wants
to contribute is welcome to. To join in the fun, simply email me off-list
and I will send you an invitation and instructions. </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-CA"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-CA">I have included links to all the major
resources. If you would like to add yours to the list, please email me
with the links and I am happy to include them. Also, I have started a
blogroll of other Open Space blogs. If yours is not mentioned, please let
me know and I will include it.</span></font></p>

A place to grow our community through sharing practices that deepen our
experience of Spirit and Being in Open Space. Tell your story. Let us lay our
words down beside each other with ease and grace. Be prepared to be surprised!</span></font></p>
</div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-CA">And the first post, explains a bit more about the
inspiration and intention that came to me in Halifax:</span></font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Georgia" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" lang="EN">This blog began as
an idea and an intention flowing from my experience at OSonOS 13 in Halifax. While there, the
conviction grew in me that the practices that support Open Space are also very
strong practices for life in general. That they could form a part of a strong
spiritual path--much like meditation enhances whatever spiritual path you are
on and brings great gifts to your life. I have found that the practices of
opening, inviting, holding, and grounding support me in much more than just formally
opening space. And once i began to open space, i wanted to live that way in all
areas of my life, not just in my work.<br>
<br>
And also in Halifax
it seemed to me that there were a lot of other people who were experiencing
something similar. That just as we believe that Open Space helps to bring
Spirit back to organizations, it seems to do the same for people. And that the
people who are engaged in actively opening space are a community of Spirit and
could use a place to share those aspects of what we do. So here it is. Make of
it what you will.<br>
<br>
This is intended as a place to share your encounters with Spirit, mystery and
Open Space. It is a place to share practices that you find support you in
opening space. It is a place to wonder about what this marvelous gift, called
Open Space, might be. And mostly, it is a place to connect, commune, and
support each other in our big questions, little discoveries, and daily
encounters with practice.</span></font></p>
