<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080><SPAN
class=343100501-05092006>Last week I had the great pleasure of attending The
World Cafe Stewardship Dialogue along with Peggy Holman, Tree Fitzpatrick,
Kenoli Oleari, Tenneson Woolf, Juanita Brown and other OSList
friends. And this weekend, I'll be traveling to Camden, Maine, for the
OSonOS by the Sea. I feel incredibly blessed to
be partaking of the many amazing connections in these two
communities. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080><SPAN
class=343100501-05092006>During the closing circle at the World Cafe
Stewardship Dialogue, I shared how much I was touched by the
openness, joy and deep sense of gratitude that permeated our
time together. 80 people from 15 countries connected hearts,
minds and spirits in deep cafe conversations. And, to my
delight, bodies were well cared for too. Inspired by the musicians
among us and our friends from Brazil, we danced and hiked and climbed the
hills around breathtakingly beautiful Tomales Bay, CA.

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080><SPAN
class=343100501-05092006>In addition to the many commitments made
by the World Cafe Community members for stewarding TWC into the future, I
know that several For Benefit initiatives were launched or picked up
steam. I expect the same will be true when a small portion of the OS
community meets next week in Maine.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080><SPAN
class=343100501-05092006>I'm struck by how beautifully the World Cafe
community holds the space open. And how the Open Space community has,
for over twenty years, invited people to host conversations that
matter.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080><SPAN
class=343100501-05092006>I believe the world is calling for us to work
together. I'm talking about those of us who practice in the field
of open, appreciative, strategic conversations and large scale
social change. We can consciously watch for opportunities to work
together for large scale impact. In the near future, we
will know which initiatives need and would welcome our help or which
projects WE want to initiate. The Open Space, World Cafe and
Appreciative Inquiry communities (among many other communities of
practice) are poised and we know how to self-organize. I can't wait
to see what will come calling. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
