Hi Glory,
Could you write more about this leadership school for the non profit sector?

Thanks Doug!
Your appreciation (keep it comin' bro - lol) stimulated me into
remembering another meaningful story about OS/OST...
In my work developing and delivering a pan-Canadian (schools held
across the country) leadership school for the non-profit sector, Open
Space Technology was extensively used in conjunction with story
circles, which we called 'Great Conversations'.
One result was that leaders participating from the Canadian far north
began to see how their personal and organizational visions connected
to each other and to the larger community. As a result, they are now
pursuing a territorial coalition/network across non-profit sub-sectors
with a focus on "building healthy communities." This was determined to
be the focus that would potentially include the largest group of
non-profits organizations possible.
This group also had a breakthrough concerning challenges around
collaborating with the aboriginal peoples of the area (which has been
historically unsuccessful - think silos). They came to realize that
they needed to listen more to the aboriginal stories before offering
their own - and to learn from their experience rather than assume that
had something to teach.
