I have been invited to offer Open Space as one of 6 workshop sessions at a conference so I will need to attract participants who have other specific offerings to choose from. (This is a conference for diverse grantees from a foundation that supports small NGOs dealing with vulnerable populations.) Has anyone offered OS in such a setting? How have you described it in the program as an offering? What lessons did you learn? I plan to assemble a small group of representatives who will attend the conference to help me frame the question. Thanks for any suggestions,

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." -- Albert Einstein, What I Believe, 1930 _____ * * ========================================================== 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
