</SPAN>7 years of OST presence in
<st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>, over 70
people who participated in OST trainings and a first 3 day OS on OS Israel has
taken place mid December 2006!. It felt as if the 31 people who showed up had
needed a space for themselves, to meet with like minded people and be "off guard
and off duty" for a while. For many it was hard to take 3 days off (as you know
in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> we
fail to take a full two day weekend!) yet, with all the coming and going, as
Avner had put it, a field of grace was present.</FONT></FONT></P>

opening space' for 'living the principles of OS as everyday practice' for
'opening space in the family' and more. Most of the time the common field,
created on the lawns of Kibbutz Har-el on the Mountains of Jerusalem, was in a
flow state, doted by people here and there, moving, not being able to tell are
these butterflies or "real groups?" The space was reach with poetry and full of

the intention is to form few dozens of simultaneous OST events in different
