"I have asked the person that first told me that OST was one of the tools normally used and suggested in transaction (to resilience) projects and communities to post some links on that, probably in a new group specific for that subject."

"Hello Artur, Good to hear from you. Where in the OST (online and in person) community are those conversations about community resilience, permaculture and nature connection happening? I'm not at the moment interested in convening a new group."

"Welcome, Dave. Wouldn't you like to create a group on "Ecology and Pemaculture" (including resilience, sustainability, transitions, etc) and its relations with OST and and other open meeting methods? That would be very interesting..."

We look forward to sharing thoughts and insights with you about Open Space. Feel free to join any of the groups (such as Open Space California) you are interested in.

Also - I do not know your level of experience with Open Space - however as you are in the Santa Cruz region, do know that I give a workshop teaching Open Space - the process, the pre-work, documentation and more - in San Francisco several times a year. If this is of interest to you let me know...
