Marvelous story and video, Christy. Thanks for having the idea and for sharing.
I hope that someone followed your lead and have done something similar in some
sessions of WOSonOS in Florida.
In that respect, I missed the photos and videos that where displayed during all
the event at London WOSonOS (even if I was present myself ;-).
This time that I was not, I could follow some sessions, but no one has photos
or videos to show?
Congratulations and best wishes to Jasmina and her Serbian team.
Regards
Artur

Subject: [OSList] Rough little video of HO walking the circle in the Already
Always Open Space
Dear Open Spaceniks,
On the eve of the lush and delightful-sounding Florida WOsonOs, below is the
link to a video I took on my phone of Harrison walking the opening circle of
the last day of a different lively gathering, which was called "Connecting for
Community" and took place in Cincinnati a few weeks ago.
One of the ways in which that gathering was very lively was that the space
opened itself! The day before Harrison was scheduled to do it, participants
lovingly yet vigorously inverted the offered design of the gathering, and
insisted on getting into conversations around what we cared to talk about and
take action on. The first two days of the three day gathering were scheduled to
be a combination of inspiring short talks by (truly) brilliant and beloved
elders, mixed with small group conversations provoked by what we'd just heard.
But for many, it wasn't enough of getting to find out who else was in the room,
and too much on the side of being talked to by elder men. So, like grass
pushing up through the sidewalk, a lot of life spoke up when the whole group
convened at the end of the second morning! Although by that afternoon, we'd
gone back into something like the beginning format.
Anyway, I went to the gathering in part because I knew that Harrison was coming
to facilitate the day of Open Space. When he started walking around the circle
at the appointed time, early on the third morning, it occurred to me to use the
video recorder on my new phone (which I don't really know how to use, as you'll
see if you watch the video) - I experienced it as sort of a "master class,"
getting to hear the spiel, and see the gestures and body language that I've
read the words of many times, as Harrison not only facilitated our gathering,
but basically taught everyone listening how to open space ourselves, "whenever
and wherever."
Here's the link: https://vimeo.com/65488850
Although it's rough, I think it's still fun to watch at least a moment or two
of what it looks like to walk that opening circle with more than 25 years of it
in your bones. It is also pretty great to see how people leaped up to write
their sessions, as soon as he invited us to!
(please note - I've found that the echo-y sound is best understood if you can
listen through earphones ;-))
Sending warm wishes for a rich and deep and surprising time to everyone at the
international WOSonOs, and to the rest of us, too!
love from Seattle, Christy
