Colleagues: I opened the space the other day for about 70 people here in Vancouver. Just thought I'd let you know how it went. These folks were a motley collection of rubes, rogues and spirited tricksters, dopplegangers, shapshifters and ghosts. Some were old, and some were very young. Some wer

Thanks for the fine spaceholder's reflections, Chris. & thanks especially for this: There is an element of sacrifice that is not in the User's Guide, or on Michael Herman's website or in any of the training that I have ever taken. And yet it is known by all OST facilitators after they do their fi
