More than arts and crafts.
It’s an opportunity to share meaningful resources, skills, plans, space, rest and healing with others who know how vital this sharing is, especially right now.
Once a month.
Facilitated Open Space Tech structure that respects your valuable time, agency and creativity.
Saturdays Monthly.
Contact the person who invited you for dates.
What is open space technology?
A gathering of people who create and manage their own agenda of parallel discussions or activities. After being introduced to the principles and practices at the very beginning, everyone is invited to build the event schedule.
Individuals propose sessions they’d like to lead or like to see someone else step up and lead. Quickly, almost if by magic, a schedule emerges, composed of sessions around topics people feel passionate about pursuing.
Use the power of your own two feet to choose your adventure. There will always be a quiet space inside and out available for decompression time.
Coming on time means you get to help shape the day, will be well-informed of your options, and may find yourself in the flow sooner than if you arrive later. More folks who come on time enhance the possibilities for everyone.
Who is Invited?
This is an invitation-only event for a few reasons(space constraints, security and safety for ex.), but each person invited is welcome to bring another adult they trust.Children are welcome as well. Only pets June & David already know and trust can tag along. Please check in ahead.
Parking at our place is limited to 20 vehicles, but we have some potential neighborhood overflow spots depending on the weekend. That’s why we’re asking for an RSVP.
RSVP 503-758-4509(cell) or thujajune@gmail.com
Thank you for understanding!
Texting or calling after the event starts may not get a response right away.
So there’s a Schedule?
There is a start time and end time, and those who wish to collaborate on the agenda for the day should arrive between 12-12:30pm to set the topic schedule.
What you can expect from the schedule:
12 Arrive and park, get comfy and oriented
12:30 Group agenda creation: what needs repair? what would you like to learn? What did you bring to share? What topics would you like to discuss? teaching something?
1:00 All the juicy stuff in the agenda happens
5:00. Group shares highlights from day and looks ahead toward next time.
6:00 Good-byes!
Can I bring anything?
Bring what you’d like to make, share, repair, give away or exchange. In addition, a sliding scale gift to the house in the spirit of community (examples):
toilet pape
tea
snacks
$ for electricity or materials
It all makes a difference. Not able to bring something each time? Next time then! No one is keeping track.
Resource exchange: A table will be set up for sharing resources, items for sharing. There will also be a sandwich board for announcing what you need or seeking, plus what you have up for grabs but didn’t bring.
