Dear Annamarie, for our weekly meetings of the berlin open space cooperative we (all remembering open space well ;) open the space silently recalling the opening. Then issues come up pretty quick... However most of the time we do meet for more than 90 minutes and have just extended the meetings from three to six hours and whoever shows up... and sometimes like this week we even miss the silent opening and chaos emerges with everyone working, cooking, going to meetings with clients in a nearby street Café enjoying the spring sun...
PS. I believe once people have experienced an open space or maybe a number of them - everyone can shift into that mode for meetings if you have an agreement to do so and hold the space together... at least this is what we try on a regular basis ;) All the best with your experiment, Michael On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Annamarie Pluhar < annama...@pluharconsulting.com> wrote: > Hoping this gets through...
