Thanks for sharing your story to add to my resources Ingrid.
I too have found doing convergence in a one day event challenging.but
important to attend to. I had some big learning a few weeks back with a
group of nurses that came together to discuss issues and opportunities for

I've used rocks, feathers, TV Changers, logs, flowers, pine cones, a
president's gavel, rattles (Cree): Whatever is appropriate to the group,

Hi,
I run a website that provides management and fund raising support for
environmental nonprofits in the US, and I would like your help.

Hi,
Had another open space meeting yesterday. What to use instead as a talking
