  As part of the convergence, we like to give Open Space Technology (OST) a try. If you are not familiar with this, here are some resources:

  Since I haven't had a response regarding the open space so far, I started to "round up" some great women to present. Among others, Soiree Leon, Brook Sarson, Deanna Moore, Maddie Wichman and Marlowe McAnear are going to present talks ranging from Gleaning to business, from finding personal health to harvesting water, from taking theory to practice and more.

  Kathleen Connor will teach us how to inoculate logs with mushrooms. Centi shared her amazing talents with us at the last convergence and she will share how to use homegrown herbs every day - medicine as food.

  Joan Green is providing a space to create art from recycled materials and things we find in nature. Bring clean recyclables to create art with or to donate to Joan.

  Speak up if you like to share a skill, lead a discussion or participate in any way.

  OST only works if the group is truly interested in conducting a meeting using this method. Please, please let us know how you feel about this. We can also have a convergence with certain workshops offered at a prescribed time or have parallel tracks - a scheduled workshop track and an open space track.
