Dave Nielsen's Page

Thanks, Dave - pencil in December 15-17 (Wednesday evening, all day Thursday and Friday) and I'll be sending out an announcement in October - feel free to contact me sooner if you need further info (Kaliya has kindly referred you to me via my direct email lisaheft [at] openingspace.net . Looking forward to meeting you (and a warm thanks to Kaliya and others who have said such lovely things about my workshops)

To Shufang's welcome I add mine - welcome, Dave, to the Open Space world community space - a sister site to the OSLIST (the ongoing conversation for OS practitioners and enthusiasts that you are also on - OSLIST is rather like the big circle, where this Ning community is rather like the breakout / discussion groups) . Feel free to join any regional, language-based or thematic Group you see here and also ask any questions you may have about the process here or on OSLIST. And have you read Harrison Owen's book, "Open Space Technology: A User's Guide"? If not, it is a great description of the Open Space process and its origin, in the words of its originator. We look forward to learning with and from you - here and on OSLIST - about all things connected to the dialogue method called Open Space...
And: I see you are in Mountain View - I host such workshops as The Power of Pre-Work (for facilitators of face-to-face dialogue using any dialogic method, not specific to OS), the Open Space Learning Workshop (specifically about OS), and others in the San Francisco Bay Area. Let me know if you would like further information. I look forward to meeting you.
