Hi, Michele -
Thank you for your interest in the Open Space trainings - I looked on the UK website http://www.openspaceuk.com/index.php/practictioners ...where I did not see anything listed for 'events' but I wanted to refer you to practitioners there - perhaps you can ask some of them if they have any trainings coming up. It turns out that a lot of facilitators (of any method, much less Open Space) do not do trainings - such different skill-sets. I know several of those colleagues but I don't know if any of them give workshops. But there are periodically trainings in France, Berlin, and Scandinavia, as you may know from the OSLIST. I don't know if that sort of travel would be accessible for you. I'm actually coming to London in April to do some Open Space - but it's not a training - it's an interactive plenary session in a conference for meeting planners. I do give trainings in various parts of the world wherever and whenever I am hosted - so if you are part of a collaboration, university or other entity with capacity to bring me over, we can certainly talk about that. But I'm hoping that in the community of practitioners above you may find something more accessible in your own region and just be able to come there to learn and share experience and knowledge. And - who knows - if it works for you to join us in July this year in San Francisco (let's hear it for airplane ticket money falling from the sky into your well-deserving hands) you could join us for the Open Space Learning Workshop just before the World Open Space on Open Space. Whenever I am the host of a workshop, everyone can pay whatever they can afford - so if by chance you find the travel money, you can pay whatever you can afford over that for the registration. And there is a very low-cost hostel just up the hill from our San Francisco workshop. So keep that in mind should the travel-to-the-USA situation present itself. I never know what the year will bring - so who knows if my travels and trainings will take me back to the UK. What I'll do is keep you on a little mailing list I have (sporadic - maybe a couple of times a year) that is just for Open Space workshops - so you'll know when they are for future, just in case. It would be a pleasure to learn with and from you in future. Take care, and keep in touch, Lisa ___________________________ L i s a H e f t Consultant, Facilitator, Educator O p e n i n g S p a c e <mailto:lisah...@openingspace.net> lisah...@openingspace.net <http://www.openingspace.net> www.openingspace.net -----Original Message----- From: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] On Behalf Of Michele Frankel Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 5:33 AM To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Subject: Re: Open Space workshop at IAF North America Conference Is there any similar training in the UK, this year?
