I am with Harrison on this *all the way*. Some bubbles burst at PHP. I can’t say how much alchemy has happened yet. Certainly there are many more bubbles to be poked before there is hope of alchemical reactions occurring.
Poking at a global bubble at maximum volume in a space without grace is foolish and counterproductive. Poking small bubbles in private is imperative and imminently possible. Might we convene sessions at the proposed simultaneous Global WOSONOS events that poke at these bubbles and invite the possibility of alchemy within our own Open Space community? To create, open and hold our own “brave” spaces? If we can’t open spaces like this among ourselves, how can we expect others to trust us to do it with them?
