a delight to be in that open space and to be a part of such powerful energy.
There are many spaces for us to open and host. I want to echo deliberately
Christine’s last paragraph. I too feel this call to work together.
Sometimes to respond to a particular need. And sometimes to develop more
capacity for presence, questions that matter, listening, harvesting, and
choosing wise actions. Quite magical really. Good to be together friends.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=teal face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua";color:teal'>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 <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Camden</st1:City>, <st1:State
w:st="on">Maine</st1:State></st1:place>, for the OSonOS by the
Sea. I feel incredibly blessed to be partaking of the
many amazing connections in these two communities. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=teal face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua";color:teal'>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 <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region>, we danced and hiked and climbed the
hills around breathtakingly beautiful <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Tomales
Bay</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">CA</st1:State></st1:place>. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=teal face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua";color:teal'>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 <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua";color:teal'>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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=teal face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua";color:teal'>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><o:p></o:p></p>
