Thank you everyone! I feel heartened this afternoon. I know I've been behind the scenes with the beginning of the school year, so this may be contributing to confusion about Backspace 5.0....
Quickly, briefly, as I'm sure more will be discussed tonight, access to the den or another large room is really important to Backspace for classes. Currently Sara and Don are itching to do regular weekly classes themselves and to organize more folks for those rooms, and I am excited to do one-off workshops too, as are others. We'd also like to get going with talks and presentations so that practitioners can share what they do with others at the OMNI. In terms of our business plan, events in a larger space is an important source of revenue.... Hope that helps clarify our interest in the den.
I won't be able to attend the meeting tonight, but plan to be around for a few hours tomorrow if anyone's around and wants to chat in person.
In kindness,
M
