Dear Christine,
thanks for the report!
The responses you sent sound very familiar, especially the last one
"Next time let's do Open Space all day!"
And the way the concern about possibly dominating players evaporates
also sounds familiar.

yes, this is true, therese. AND many of these sessions are ONLY 90
minutes because the organizers have not heard about ost and don't know
that it's possible to do this for a couple of days or in an ongoing,
easy way. openspace is everywhere. awareness of power and possibility

Dear Christine,
I wonder whether you could create time.
If they've taken one bold move, they may be able to take some that are
