Dear Raynel,
welcome to OSLIST, a great space to connect and to post questions.
Another special space will be the 29th Worldwide Open Space on Open
Space (WOSonOS) gathering this year in Berlin, Germany.
Jazz would be a wonderful component!
Here is a link to Open Space on Open Space on openspaceworld.org
https://openspaceworld.org/wp2/osonos/
with info on the Berlin event
https://www.wosonos2023.berlin/
At each of the 9 OSonOS (later WOSonOS) I participated in sessions on
"What have been some of your most impactful experiences with Open Space
Technology?"
... an impacting experience in themselves.
At the 6th OSonOS (thats what we called those events at that time) in
1998 in Monterey it was the double rainbow above the Pacific that
appeared when we talked about "Open Space Worldwide"... which
eventually became "WOSonOS".
And in my work as an Open Space facilitator I experienced something I
could never "explain" that still impacts me:
In an event with 40 kids aged 9 to 14 coming from 3 different
after-school care centers in Berlin back in 2000 they left the space one
after another after having posted their issues on the "bulletin board".
After everything was posted they heard me ring my temple bells and
returned to the space for the "market place" at which everyone chose
issues to work on. Without any hesitation and not having been present
when issues were posted they ran up to the bulletin board and selected
issues they wanted to work on... as if they had been present all the time.
Later we discovered that they preferred to be on the playground at the
venue and also were attracted to the buffet that had been set up for
them in the hallway.
How on earth were they able to fully stay in the space being in
different spaces?
Greetings from Berlin

Hello,
My name is Raynel Frazier, I am a doctoral student in Organization
Development and Change at Bowling Green State University and live and
work in New York City. I am currently taking a class on collaborative
change and am very interested in connecting with the Open Space
Technology Community. Some background on me:
I am a trombonist and got my undergraduate degree in jazz performance.
I worked as a professional musician for a while before starting my
career in nonprofit arts. As an arts administrator my experience is
mostly at at large nonprofit arts institutions as a concert programmer
(booking artists in various venues), worked as a tour manager
(traveling on national and international tours), and am currently a
programs producer at a new arts venue/incubator. In my current role I
work closely with the leadership team as we develop the systems,
infrastructure, culture, and programs for this new organization. I am
curious to learn more about Open Space Technology and how it can be
applied to my work at this new arts nonprofit.
What have been some of your most impactful experiences with Open Space
Technology?
If anyone who has been working with Open Space Technology has time, I
would love to connect.
Thanks!
Raynel
