Re: [OSList] Fr Brian Bainbridge

I'd only met Fr. Bainbridge last May for the first time at Leadership in a Self-Organizing World. I had arrived not knowing anyone, trying to get my bearings, and was walking in the back looking at the pool at the Sleeping Lady Resort. He was very friendly and kind that day. I had hoped to meet

Re: Fr Brian Bainbridge

I am sorry to hear this. It was wonderful to see him at the WOSonOS in Taipei last year. He had a deep understanding of Open Space and practiced it in his life. I participated in several events he led, at the IAF Asia and the HK Facilitators network, and he always led so that the participants to

Dear friends sharing my tears - i remember the vivid good arguments we had at the last WOSONOS with Brian sharing his wisdom on hosting and facilitating open space without added "action planning" with another design - "NOT shutting down the space!" I so much enjoy his passion. And i am sure he wil

Dear Viv, I'm so sad to hear and I miss Brian in my heart - I met him the first time on WOSonOS in "Swenmark" - can it be 2003 or 2004? We sat in a cabin wagon and he told us a lot of OS- stories. That was my first time at on OSonOS and he made me feel very welcomed. And since then I don't think th

I celebrate the life and deeply regret the passing of Father Brian. From the first time I met him at OSonOS in Monterrey, California, I have always had the image: “This is who I want to be when I grow up!”. A great loss for the field and a great gain for the universe. Gil *
