Dear Harrison, Mikk & all.<br>
<br>
What I like about the briefer version is the connection of action
& sensation: Where it happens is the right place. <br>
It may be widnessed geografically and then moving on to other realms
...emotionally, spiritually, socially, ..... ;)<br>
Isn't that beautyful - when space opens a mirale, a shift, a touch
of our heart & spirit happens.<br>
Goosebumps on my arm, a smile on your face or a shiver down her
neck, a mmhhmmm .. wherever it happens is the right place.<br>
<br>
..and remember.. who you are, is the right person.<br>
<br>
much Love<br>
AC<br>

New Jersey upcoming event</span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear OS friends and colleagues:<br>
<br clear="all">
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So many times during this project, I
have wanted to write to you to share the exuberance, the
challenges, the questioning, the commitment and the awe,
pride and admiration I have felt for everyone involved
in the two-day Creative New Jersey Open Space event
scheduled to take place on June 14<sup>th</sup> and 15<sup>th</sup>
of this week. <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://creativenj.org/" target="_blank"><br>
<br>
</a></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="MsoNormal">Check
out the site <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://creativenj.org/" target="_blank">http://creativenj.org/</a>
and to witness what’s happening live this week. You can
even twitter if you’d like. Just don't forget to include
#creativenj if you do tweet.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For Chuni Li and me, co-facilitators
on this Open Space project with Creative New Jersey, our
work began a little over two months ago. For the
organizing host team, the Vision had started about 18
months ago.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A compelling white paper described
the burning platform of a state (like most across the
country) facing enormous economic, social, cultural,
educational and environmental challenges. It spoke of a
proud history of innovation, creativity and success.
Their<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span>goal was
a Call to Action to spark a movement that recognizes,
fosters and sustains creativity and innovation as
catalysts for a vital, prosperous and sustainable New
Jersey. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After an Open Space simulation,
introduced as part of our pre-work, the organizing
committee agreed to go with an OS process. Then began
the work of creating an invitation which led to the
theme question: “How can Creativity and Innovation
Revitalize New Jersey?” Excitement was building with the
committee though not without a certain degree of anxiety
wondering how we would attract a group of 150 diverse
individuals to commit two full days in mid-June. A
weekly meeting schedule by conference call was
established with the Host Team taking the lead on most
of the pre-work assignments. With each passing week, the
energy and enthusiasm kept building. Chuni and I became
resources, assisting and guiding with the intention of
not only helping them have a successful event but also
transferring knowledge about Open Space, the mechanics
and the depth of this self-organizing leadership
process.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mid-stream, we also decided to call
upon Gerry Kirk, from the Scrum Community, an avid
supporter of Open Space, asking him to lead us on the
technology side. Chuni became his right arm person,
avid to learn and do. A host website with many simple
tools was quickly created. Again the mission was about
transferring the learning to the New Jersey team of
volunteers. Now a few days before the event, the
conversations are happening on line; many participants
have already posted their profiles and we know that the
site will be a welcoming place for blogs, live twitters,
summary reports and short videos to capture impressions
and highlights during the event. It will also serve as
an important vehicle to continue the conversations
afterwards and to share ideas and engage action and to
invite more people to join.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Initially the intent was that I would
facilitate the event but in the course of our
preparations, a request came asking if we would agree to
have Larry Capo, one of the leads on this project,
facilitate. For a split second I hesitated but then
quickly agreed that yes, this was the way to go. Now as
I listen to Larry counseling others on our weekly
conference calls saying “whatever happens, happens”,
“letting go is what we need to do ” or quoting a passage
in Harrison’s Open Space Technology book, I know without
a shadow of a doubt that this was the right decision and
that in a different and very invisible way, I too will
be holding space with him, working at the newsroom. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, a diverse group of nearly 170
people have confirmed from business and industry,
education, arts and culture, science and technology,
government, communities, medical and pharmaceuticals,
faith based, media and others. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I reflect on what has happened
these past few months, I can almost hear Harrison’s
voice to us the facilitators of Open Space saying “one
less thing to do” is one more thing the clients can do
for themselves. Chuni and I have contributed in a
different way, wrestling at times as it was not always
easy watching our clients struggle and work as hard as
they have. In the end, as we look forward to our
upcoming event, I feel and hear the pride and ownership
of what has been achieved to date and I can only imagine
how wonderful and great it will be when we get to the
end of the closing circle “when it’s over, it’s
over”. Of course, we will know that it’s really just
the beginning … of a transformative change to revitalize
New Jersey.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are no words to express the joy
at the emergent collaboration of working with this
wonderful team. Wish us all luck and please hold the
space for us and with us. Thank you Harrison for your
wise counsel and support along the way; Lisa Heft for
your expert guidance on the simulation and pre-work; and
Diane Gibeault, my teacher and friend, for the
opportunity to ponder deeply together and to exchange
ideas in Ottawa last week and over the phone.</p>
