[Ailist] seeking resources for book and more

[Raffi Aftandelian]

Greetings all,

I'm currently working on a book on the personal practice of Open Space (OS) as a practice of peace. OST facilitators from around the world are sending in pieces on how they *live* OS. This book will include a resources section listing materials/practices that aid in living OS.

Since AI and OS are sister approaches, I thought that people on this list might know of resources/practices on how to live Appreciative Inquiry, on how we live and embody the Appreciative Lens/Frame. If you know of any such materials, I'd be most grateful if you could send the reference(s) to me. Of course, I'll be sure to include Dynamic Relationships in this section, a very helpful book.

I'd welcome pieces by AI facilitators who also work with OST and might call their approach to life as a practice of OS. Please contact me offlist at raffi at bk.ru or raffi_1970 at yahoo.com for the invitation/description of the project.

Also, though I've been working with Open Space Technology for a number of years and have been "trained in AI," yet I haven't yet experienced AI in a "real-life" situation. 

Are there any people in the  San Diego/Los Angeles (Calif., USA) area that I could be pointed to? 

Thank you!

appreciatively, 
raffi
