Hi Kári,
No experience yet, but I think it is a great
idea. I could envision an Open Space conference
on work-life balance with all the stakeholders
present. "All the stakeholders" would of course
include the employees' families.

Any thoughts or experience with this aspect?

Hi All,
I have a question. I would love to come to
WOSNOS and I have a big world cafe/open space,
two day event called the Bath and North East
Somerset Youth Climate Summit (see
<http://www.greenvisionmovement.org/youthsummit>www.greenvisionmovement.org/youthsummit),
which takes place on 15th/16th October. It
brings together 150 young people from across
the county to learn and engage in conversations
which lead to action on climate change and
other global issues that affect young people today.
As I am organising this event I will need to be
around on the Sunday beforehand getting ready
and I also have two children and a partner who
need support as I get closer to the event (and
will be working longer hours). So my question
is around whether I could bring my children to
WOSNOS. Are there any other children going? I
feel like if I came I would get so much out of
it even with a big event looming.
For me part of what I am looking to do in the
future is design learning spaces for young
people on the principles of World Cafe and Open
space so bringing my children with me to events
like this adds energy to that vision.
Can I also put out there that if there is
anyone interested in the two day event who are
doing similar things in the UK or around the
world and would like to come and check it out
then it would be a pleasure to have you.
Thanks and please let me know if children are
welcome and if anyone else is bringing any?

A deep bow to you Lisa! A very deep bow indeed!!!
I have just now booked my flight and lodging
from Florida. By combining the two, got a good
rate -- I will be sharing a room which will
make the trip even more joyous. Added a few
days to see the historical and Olympic sights of London.
Thank you to the entire WOSonOS organizing
Team. The
<http://invites.wosonos2012.com/>website is so
very beautiful -- artistic, inviting, most
informative with welcoming butterflies and
bumble bees dancing on the web pages. You can
feel the magic of the event by clicking from
one postcard link to the other. With another
quick search, I was easily able to find
information on bus costs, train transportation
from the airport and everything.
I hope many in our OS worldwide community
decide to make the trip. Or if not, consider
making a small donation. By do so you will be
supporting this important Open Space event
while experiencing it at a distance either
through postings on the OS list or the many
summary reports capturing the amazing
conversations that will happen there including
ideas for action that will carry forward into our OS future.
My trip has already begun! Look forward to
seeing everyone in October and yes of course, I
will scribe when I get there knowing that my
journalistic side will want to celebrate and share.
Hugs and sunshine from Florida (before Isaac
the Hurricane man descends upon us),

Hello, all -
Think of how bringing colleagues together in a
face-to-face event shifts our thinking.
Reflect on how learning - and community -
deepen in Open Space as amazing individuals
host and attend conversations that enrich their work for others.
You know this feeling because you have attended
a WOSonOS or OSonOS or have held space for
clients, communities and organizations.
Now imagine a few Open Space colleagues acting
on their dream to connect with community at the WOSonOS this October.
Perhaps you have registered and we will see you there.
Perhaps we will see you another year as the
WOSonOS moves to another part of the world.
Now think of a story that many of us have in
our cultures - in my culture we call it 'Stone Soup'.
It is about the magic of community - the magic
of each person adding a little bit of what they
have to a pot of bubbling water - to, as a
community, create a rich and nutritious stew.
Whether you are joining us or not at this
year's WOSonOS - do you have a carrot or onions or precious salt to share?
You will be helping some very special
colleagues you may not even know - but in whom you believe.
Access Queen believes in some incredible people
who just need a little extra for pocket money
or housing to join us at the WOSonOS.
20 (currency of your choice), 200, 2000 - know
that every bit goes to Access Queen Askers.
What is not spent this year goes into the stew pot for next year's Askers.
Perhaps this money is 5 or 10% of your fee from
a few of your recent facilitation jobs.
Perhaps it comes from selling your art or
books, having a Global Village Marketplace at
your next trainings and events, having a yard
sale, teaching dance, making a good meal and
having your friends pay for it for charity, or many other creative ways.
Two onions, four carrots, a sprinkle of salt - everything makes a difference.
Here is how you can contribute:
1) If you are thinking of registering for
WOSonOS but have not done so yet: do so now.
Your registration gives the Host Team resources
to help them welcome everyone regardless of
financial ability. If you have already
registered you can also contact them to add in
a little more. <http://www.wosonos2012.com/>http://www.wosonos2012.com
2) Other ways to contribute toward these amazing OS Askers:
- Log on to your account or create an account
at PayPal
(<http://www.paypal.com/>http://www.paypal.com)
and 'send money' to
<mailto:lisah...@openingspace.net>lisah...@openingspace.net
(know that sending as 'Personal' / 'Gift'
incurs zero processing fee - and please put a
note about Access Queen in the notes section)
- Send me a US-bank check (contact me for a
postal address and information about what to write on the check).
- If you are a US citizen and would like a tax
deduction for a charitable contribution - you
can pay through the Open Space Institute US via
PayPal. OSI-US is a 501(c)3 organization.
PayPal and / or your credit card company will
take a small processing fee out of the amount -
however the OSI-US will take zero
administration fees for this assist (thank you, OSI-US!).
For donations through OSI-US for Access Queen:
please do not donate by check as this creates
administrative time on their side and we want
to keep them task-free in thanks for their generous assistance.
<http://osius.org/content/support-access-queen>http://osius.org/content/support-access-queen
Most of all - many thanks for the belief you
have in others, the passion you have for our
learning community across the world, and the
generosity you show by sharing what you have.
A deep bow to you all (with one hand on my
tiara so it does not fall off my very big hairdo)...
Lisa Heft
(also known as Access Queen)
