<DIV>Dear Friends,<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR>It's been such a wow year and I feel such love and gratitude for this
community and for Open Space in my life! WOSonOS Florida 2013 was such a gift, a
gift that keeps on giving! The stories I hear of what was ignited as a
result are so heart-warming. Our WOSonOS Millennial co-host leaders are
blasting it out of the park with so many initiatives in education,
entrepreneurship, etc. Soon I will strong arm them to share their stories
on the OS list. They are just too busy doing it instead of writing about it.
<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Lately it feels like I've been on a bit of a sabbatical from our beloved OS
list though I have been reading here and there. Yes I ventured into the Social
Media world, with Twitter and more. I was overwhelmed at first but then I
realized that it's just another example of the beautiful chaos that is life with
all the wonderful global connections that can happen. It's also an opportunity
to spark interest and curiosity around Open Space. <BR><BR>My passion to bring
Open Space to the World of Work has not abated nor has my deep desire to partner
with our Technology pals and others who are equally passionate about igniting
and transforming the workplace.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In mid-January I will be going to New York to participate in the Annual
Open Space co-hosted by Karen Davis and Harrison Owen at International House. I
decided to personally invite a bunch of close friends from the Open Space world
and others who have not yet experienced OS. Many are coming including
Christine Koehler from Paris and Jasmina Nikolic from Serbia, Kennan Salinero (a
Scientist from San Francisco), Derek Wade (from the Scrum World from Chicago),
Russell Meyer (Social Activist Pastor from Florida), Ben Roberts (from CT
bringing on-line dialogue to the world) , Achim Nowak (author and keynote
speaker), Johann Gauthier (from Quebec Canada, creator of <A
href="https://plus.google.com/communities/111166240740728636143">HRockstars</A>
which some of you might like to join) and others. Chuni Li who I met there three
years ago will be hosting some of my friends at her home as will Ben Roberts.
Part of the magic of our world in Open Space is when friends of friends become
friends. <BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So in the spirit of invitation, I would like to add my voice to Karen
Davis' , the master organizer of this annual affair, to see if others might like
to join. <BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Below is the text of the invitation in case the attachment doesn't work.
<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hugs and Happy New Year to all!<BR></DIV>

and conflict seem to have the upper hand these days. Whether battered by the
forces of nature, feeling the gridlock in government, trying to survive in a
highly competitive and super-connected world or fearing the constant threats to
peace in so many places, we all can agree that much is happening on our small
planet. We feel the impact of it in our daily lives and many of us
struggle.<SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri","sans-serif"'><BR>Perhaps it is
time to recognize that we, our organizations, as indeed the entire cosmos – are
all self-organizing systems. And rather than viewing these forces as a threat or
something to control, we can begin to see the power of self-organization and
learn to leverage that power.<BR><BR>By understanding the primal force of
self-organization and letting go, we will be able to freely pursue the
fulfillment of our individual and collective potential with energy and
simplicity. We will engage in the natural dance of order and chaos that leads to
peace and high performance.<BR><BR>Can we be highly productive and peaceful at
the same time? Can organizations produce exhilarating performance in peaceful
environments?<BR><BR>The 28-year natural experiment that is Open Space
Technology (OST) has demonstrated no less than 250,000 times or more, in 146
countries with groups of 5 to 3000 that it is not only possible but predictable
and highly probable. We can be hugely productive. We can be peacefully
present.<BR><BR>Some people have viewed the results as counterintuitive,
unbelievable, and have even called it magic. The results continue; however, the
“magic” is not Open Space Technology. Rather it is the force that underlies it –
the power of self-organization.<BR><BR><B>You are invited</B> to experience and
learn to apply this age old force of High Performance and Peace as we engage,
explore and deepen our understanding around this question:
<SPAN> </SPAN><B>“Can We Learn to Ride the Creative/Chaotic Waves of
Self-Organization, Using their Power to Amplify our
Power?”</B><BR><BR><BR><B>THE PROGRAM</B><BR><BR>The Program will unfold over 3
days. On Day I anyone who cares to learn the fundamentals of OST facilitation or
to become more comfortable with facilitating is invited. This first day focuses
on the essentials for opening space with any group, including core principles,
the planning process, when to use Open Space, action approaches, and role and
behavior of the facilitator. Practice during Days II-III will increase your
proficiency.</SPAN></P>

style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri","sans-serif"'>Days II – III: The
design for each of the following two days is identical. <SPAN> </SPAN>In
the morning, Harrison Owen, the originator of OST, will offer reflections on
“Creating the conditions for Peace and High Performance” and on the final day
“Opening Space in our Lives, our Organizations and our World”. The balance of
each day will be in dialogue with others in open space. We will all be teachers.
We will all be learners. At the conclusion you will have a compendium of
materials (online) to remind you of your experience and to support you in your
new ventures.<BR><BR><B>If you are specifically interested in the facilitation
of OST</B>, the first day of the program is essential, as well as reading
