Subject: [OSList] International House NYC - 1 week ago
Dear friends and colleagues,
I am still brimming from last week in New York City attending the annual
gathering hosted by Karen Davis and Harrison. I feel we are living the
exponential growth of Open Space where 6 degrees of separation feels more like
3 degrees of separation. Where Global becomes Local and Local becomes Global.
Often we are asked what happens after an Open Space. Well in this case I can
say there is very strong evidence of a lot that has and is happening.
Coincidentally this past weekend, there was another Creative New Jersey Open
Space, the 5th or the 6th such event after the first that Chuni Li and I worked
on together in 2011. Chuni and I met at International House and it led us to
work together a few months later. That collaboration led to a series of events
self-directed and self-led in Open Space. Information on this here:
https://www.facebook.com/CreativeNJ and at Creative New Jersey.
Thinking about other familiar faces who were in New York at International House
over the years, whose paths crossed and reflecting on the areas that each
represent and how much we have all been helping each other, I am in awe:
Technology (Agile/Scrum/Kanban); Science, Education, Social Justice, Business,
Arts, etc. I was struck about how and when people met, how they stayed
connected and how they have worked and supported each other on Open Space
events that have happened over the past few years.
It led me to create a rough mind map with the names of folks who were at
International House this year to realize that by attending an Open Space event
in Orlando Florida in 2010 that Harrison was facilitating, it led to multiple
collaborations, deep friendships and many Open Space events not the least of
which our World Open Space in Florida last year.
What is also amazing are the deep personal friendships that even extend to our
families. For example, Chuni Li invited Ms. Song, Hulu and a few of us for
supper at her home on the night after the International House Open Space. We
ended up staying overnight and some stayed most of the week due to the big
winter storm. Impossible to describe the warm hospitality of the Li family.
Check this link http://bit.ly/peacenewsroom: if you want to peak at what
happened in New York at International House (summary reports, graphics, photos,
etc), with the before and after photos showing the important discussions and
how much we have become part of each others' lives from clients and
facilitators to friends, united by wanting to make a difference, all of us so
grateful that Open Space came into our lives. So thank you OS list, thank you
Harrison, Karen and everyone for enriching my life with friends and purpose.
And looking ahead it's pretty darn exciting to see the tribes of tribes (other
groups like HRockstars) becoming connected with our Open Space community and
vice versa.
Warm greetings to all on this fine Monday morning, one week after being at
International House on Martin Luther King day.
Suzanne
