It used to be that there were only a handful of trainings for example and I knew all of the trainers. Now Open Space training is offered everywhere by people who none of us in the "core community" of practitioners have ever heard of. OST is being used in all kinds of settings and what we are learning about leadership, organization and management is being deeply internalized into practice and life. <BR><BR>It seems that the movement of who we are and what we know has been scattered to the winds and that is a beautiful thing. It is something that could never have happened if Harrison had retained control over the process, or if everything was centralized into one set of licenses for training and use. OST is used every day in hundreds of different contexts and its spirit permeates many organizations, communities and personal practices. <BR><BR>And so. the evolution of this conversation seems timely. As much as I also have enjoyed the OSonOS events (and I co-hosted one of them) I can see the wisdom and delight in what Michael Herman has proposed. A worldwide Open Space week, self-organized, possibly interconnected or possibly not in which many gatherings on many scales could take place is a brilliant and accurate reflection of our community of practice. Better than having 200 people gathering one place, having 200 gatherings of 50 people in many places would be a monumental testament to the ubiquitous nature of this incredibly fluid process. As far as I know, none of the organizational change practitioner's communities has anything like this. <BR><BR>To me it is the difference between watching the moon eclipse the sun, and watching a full moon rise. Both incredibly beautiful events, but different. But the solar eclipse is only visible to a very tiny slice of the world, and when one occurs, those of us who are outside of that range can only follow along on the web or TV and envy those who got to be there. <BR><BR>But sharing the experience of watching a full moon rise is totally different. Lovers separated by many miles often do this, feeling connected in the moment with their partner, sharing a common experience of beauty. We appreciate the event together and we appreciate the fact that we are doing it together, no matter where we are. <BR><BR>And so, what if we chose the week of the harvest moon for our week of gatherings? In the northern hemisphere, the harvest moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, usually occurring in late September or early October. The harvest moon marks the time of year when the harvest of the year's bounty begins. The days and night are roughly equal in length and the tides are reasonably equal as well. It is a time of equanimity and rededication to the communal effort of harvesting what we have sown. <BR><BR><A href="http://www.farmersalmanac.com/astronomy/fullmoons.html">This year the harvest moon is September 26th</A>. What if all over the world, during the week of September 24, we gathered in large to small groups for a day or two or more and held open space on open spaces, to harvest what we have sown, learn from one another and contribute to a worldwide learning inquiry about the edge of our practice, and the incredible evolving story of Open Space? <BR><BR>If others feel like this is a good idea, I will start the ball rolling by committing to having one here on Bowen Island, near Vancouver, Canada that week, let us say September 25-26-27. It will be in a rustic setting, and it will be cheap and accessible. Anyone who wants to gather with me from near and far is invited. We will enjoy each other in two days of Open Space and on the evening of September 26, we will go down to the beach looking east across the mouth of Howe Sound to the North American mainland and watch the harvest moon rise, knowing that as we are doing so, many of our friends and colleagues will have seen that same moon emerge over their gatherings in Siberia, Zimbabwe, Belgium, the United States, Colombia and Haiti? And then we will post our proceedings on our worldwide web site and relish in the conversations shared with others across our world. <BR><BR>What say you, friends?<BR><BR>Chris<BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><DIV><SPAN class="gmail_quote">On 1/21/07, <B class="gmail_sendername">Christine Whitney Sanchez</B> <<A href="mailto:milagro27@cox.net">milagro27@cox.net </A>> wrote:</SPAN><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <DIV> <DIV dir="ltr" align="left"><FONT color="#000080" face="Maiandra GD"><SPAN>As Larry, Doug, Eva and others have said, I like the hugging/dancing kind of OSonOS.

I like having a worldwide event, and like moving it to various parts of the world. My travel budget is slimmer than it used to be, and overseas travel is more difficult now that I have some severe diet restrictions. But a worldwide OSONOS is always going to be a top priority.<BR><BR>Maybe we need something like what Gabriela suggested, a voting process that lets those of us who are unable to be physically present participate in choosing the next location. I'm delighted that the Ukraine has such a thriving OS community, and that they enthusiastically invited us there. But for myself, I am disappointed to have the annual gathering two years in a row in locations which present some big challenges for me. I'd like to see us return the the idea we proposed when we first moved OSONOS away from North America--to move from continent to continent, to include local participants from many regions and to make the travel easier for a different group each time.<BR><BR>Regional OSONOS and internet connections are great, but a face to face, worldwide OSONOS is something very special. I want to be a part of that as often as I can.<BR><BR>Joelle Everett<BR>Shelton, Washington, USA <BR><BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-family: Arial;"></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <FONT color="#000080" face="Maiandra GD"> </FONT><P><FONT color="#000080" face="Maiandra GD"><FONT face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;
