Add to this three amazing facilitators (Hélène de Saint-Front from Paris, France; Don Youngberg from Connecticut, USA; and Ola Chodasz from Poland) who opened the space each morning in their very own style (recorded with links in the proceedings) with a cast of wonderful volunteers, it is little wonder that we were all so inspired. </div><div class="">It was another adventure in co-learning and experiencing open space in the spirit of this 20-year plus gathering of "Opening Space for Peace and High Performance" which has been traditionally held at International House in New York City. This highly successful, first virtual gathering with its compelling theme cannot help but stir our imagination for more. </div><div class="">An important Call to Action with a QUESTION bigger than anyone could fathom: "How do we engage 8 billion people in meaningful conversation?" Ignited by Harrison Owen, originator of Open Space amplified in his reflections on Saturday and Sunday morning (also with video links in the proceedings), this unanswerable question spoke to the palpable urgency and opportunity of these times. </div><div class="">A gathering of 3 days that became 4 is now living in us as an infinite DAY 5 and Keeping the Spirit Alive.</div><div class="">Here to stir your longing to open more and more space is the link featuring all of the above. <span class="gmail-apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.666666984558105px;"> </span><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193);font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;opacity:1;float:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-variant-caps:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit" class=""><a href="http://bit.ly/PHP_Proceedings2021_PDF" title="http://bit.ly/PHP_Proceedings2021_PDF" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14.666666984558105px" class="">http://bit.ly/PHP_<span style="background-color:rgb(255,238,148);color:rgb(7,7,6);margin:0px;padding:0px;opacity:1;float:inherit;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-variant-caps:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit" class="">Proceedings</span>2021_PDF</a></span></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Be Prepared to Be Surprised!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">With much love and gratitude,</div><div class="">Suzanne Daigle and Karen Davis</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
