Hi JF, I am happy you enjoyed your Open Space experience in Bilbao. I wondering if your list speaks to your week in Bilbao or to your experience of Open Space Technology?
"Your List / potential chapters of a book" include: - Coming home to transformation - Energy, sexuality and quantum physics - Matter, time and the architecture or open space - Can touchy-feely break corporate dogmatic straitjacket - Open Space as social and personal therapy - Comprehensiveness and perceived randomness (or spontaneity as fit for purpose solution) You spoke about your perceptions that leaders might be afraid of applying OST in the corporate context. I feel some resistance when I read "sexuality" and "therapy" - can you speak more to your points so I can understand this better? When I think of a list/ chapters about OST I can imagine including: - invitation - circle - breath - emergence - energy - creation - power - connection - intimacy - genuine connections - wisdom - actions What would others add to their list/chapter of a book about Open Space Technology?
