Open Space on Open Space in San Francisco, January 2010
What are the possibilities of Open Space in our lives, organizations and communities? What capacities and tools do we need, to move to the next level with this work? Let’s gather and learn from one another. Jeff Aitken, Kaliya Hamlin, Lisa Heft and Heidi Nobantu Saul invite you to…
OSonOS 2010
Open Space on Open Space
January 15-17, 2010
in San Francisco, California, USA
….Several days in and about Open Space — where the newly trained and the longtime practitioners will share our excitement, encouragement, trials and errors — and explore how we use this remarkable organizational and community-building process, on its own or with other tools and methods.
Please note that the OSonOS is not a training but rather an invitation to those who already use the method to explore OST on deeper levels. If you would like to learn how to use Open Space – contact lisaheft@openingspace.net for more information about 2010 workshops and other resources for learning about Open Space.

Location
The OSonOS will be held at beautiful Fort Mason, a historic military garrison that now houses arts organizations, the world-famous Greens restaurant, reception facilities and more. Walk outside to enjoy the fresh Bay air, wave to sea lions, crabs and shore birds and see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. The rest of San Francisco is just a bus or a taxi ride away. If budget is an issue, there is even a hostel nearby with the best view in the world.
