Invitation to Fools OPEN SPACE: Now and Forever Old Fools and Young Fools

Rotterdam - October 30th 10.30-17.00
Facilitated by Ray Bowler

Reint is Franki’s most enduring foolish participant. He has worked for 30 years with Fooling in his world; he has a lot to celebrate and share about how he has been served by his experience, on this his 70th birthday.
In my observation I have seen interests in fooling wax and wane, from personal experience I can talk of my own changes in focus. Groups form and disband; energy and enthusiasm rise and fall. Life takes us on a roller coaster of experience with new interests catching our attention to be followed with a hunger for Fooling and the truth it brings. For Reint and his experience Fooling has persisted, how can this constancy survive for another 30 years – beyond Reint, beyond Franki? I invite those who are interested in this theme to ask themselves ‘where do I fit in with this activity, can I believe that it will still exist for me when I wish for it. How will my needs present themselves in 10 or 20 years time?” I would love to be a fly on the wall in 10 years time to see how all those fools shaped their worlds and built their experiences.

Following on from last years very successful ‘Open Space’ event, in Germany we hope that this will be an annual event for fools to get together and play with a whole lot of other fools, in each of the countries where fooling has a foothold. An inexpensive day to gather together to play and share the ups, downs, successes, failures, visions and passions of our foolish lives. We also hope that the method of Open Space can be used as a working tool for groups of fools to work together when un-facilitated or un-directed.

Open Space is a forum for fools to explore for themselves what they seek separately and collectively. If there are things you are passionate about or things you are pissed off about, projects or proposals you need support on, or if you want to connect and play with your fools community, all are possible, because in Open Space you set the agenda. Nothing is off limits.

I hope to see you at our second Fools Open Space.
