Dear Deb, I agree! QigoChat is fabulous, and I highly recommend it - Lucas is a wonderful ally and very willing to help with any necessary details.
AND it IS possible to host OpenSpace in Zoom. Quite easily in fact. All you have to do is make everyone a co-host. Then when the breakout rooms have been set up according to what emerges in the Marketplace, you create an additional room as an interim space and put everyone in it. From there, everyone (all co-hosts) can see the other breakout rooms and freely move between them. That interim room can also serve as a place to rest, should anyone want to just be alone and reflect. On another subject, I hope everyone knows that we (Beehive Productions and the amazing Chris Corrigan) are hosting Harrison in an open, interactive conversation this Wednesday about the origins of and inspiration for his work with Open Space. It’s free, although donations are very gratefully received. If you are interested, and haven’t yet registered, please do! Here’s a link for more information & registration: https://www.beehive-productions.net/course/origin-story-harrison-owen/ All are welcome!
