<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Standing on the shoulders of giants are we! So much wisdom coming to Florida, Some like Lisa Heft have arrived already. Her training started today with this beautiful mix of Millennials and many others who love Open Space. The video cameras were rolling and smart phones clicking photo after photo. Magic in the room for sure. The diversity is already at play...from Haiti, from Germany and Serbia, from Taiwan and tonight Australia, from Montana and Pennsylvania (arriving after a 24-hour drive straight), Canada is in the room and many from Florida too. Around 50 people... all the right people! I cannot even imagine what it will be like by Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Already there is such a purposefulness around the future, around politics and community, leadership and sustainability. Meaty topics indeed and this was just the training. <br>
<br></div>With great enthusiasm and a tad of trepidation, we invite you to keep your eyes peeled on our website as we try to bring the spirit of this WOSonOS more palpably to each of you, virtually. If you can, please join in! There are so many who want you to experience a bit of the magic from where you are including Ben, Aaron (a USFSP student), Doris (a new colleague friend passionate about Open Space) and others too. <br>
