Greetings fellow space-holders! I have had the intention for a while to offer an hour (or so) class in OS Russian for anyone interested and in particular for those coming to the OSonOS August 4-6.
I think any space-holder worth her temple bells coming to Moscow would want to know how to say: - facilitator - temple bells - topic - OST meeting - Open Space Technology - Harrison Owen - the four principles - law of two feet - convergence - emergence - self-organizing systems - OSonOS - Welcome to OS! - organizational transformation - Spirit - grief cycle - organizational life cycle - Hi, I'm _____, I hold space for a living - the four practices - zapchen somatics - large group intervention tools - conscious open space organizations - givens - community weaving - circles of change - OS list - expanding our now - "Training and consulting are quaint 20th century practices." - appreciative inquiry in Russian. For those not coming to the OSonOS but see the potential swirling for participation in a future OS-related event, I'd love to see you on the call too! Of course, we can also cover things like - Excuse me, where's the bathroom? - thank you - hello - my name is... Offhand, I was thinking this could be sometime June 3rd and June 4th at any time. First, though, I would like to see where the interest is. I have suggested offlist that it might be helpful to remind yourself the Cyrillic alphabet. It should take, I imagine, about 3 hours? A letter a day keeps the doctor away? Of course, This call could be an opportunity to answer any practical (or impractical) questions about coming to Moscow. One more practical note: those thinking about coming to the OSonOS, I think it is best to budget up to a month to get a Russian visa. Still a month and a half to make a decision! Warmly, raffi * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
