About SOS Asheville

SOS ~ Sustainability Open Space

SOS Asheville is an interactive “space” established to promote transformation to a dynamic, sustainable culture, society, and economy in harmony with the natural world.  SOS Asheville is based in Asheville, North Carolina, USA, and focuses on the Southern Appalachian bio-region, with connections to the greater regional, national, and global sustainability movements.

SOS Asheville provides SOS events using the self-organizing methodology of Open Space Technology.  These events are free and open to all people and organizations which are active in the transformation to dynamic sustainability.  The first Summer SOS Gathering took place on June 26-27, 2006, at Warren Wilson College; the Fall SOS Gathering took place on September 15-17, 2006, at the Montford Recreation Center near downtown Asheville.

SOS Asheville also provides this online collaborative weblog.  The opening posts on this SOS Asheville blog consist of the Open Space Reports and Initiative Reports generated by the participants at the June SOS event.  All participants in the SOS Gatherings are invited to join the SOS Asheville Blog as Authors.  They can post messages to the blog, which are self-organized by a variety of categories.

At the SOS events, some participants chose to be Champions of particular Initiatives for follow-up action.  Each Initiative has its own category on the blog to facilitate follow-up collaboration.

All messages posted to this SOS Asheville blog appear in the main body of the website chronologically.  You can access the messages in a particular category by clicking on the category listed on the sidebar.

For more information about this SOS Asheville blog and about the SOS Asheville community, please contact Chris Weaver at chris@springbranch.us.

Thank you for being a part of this exciting experiment!
