Hi, If someone wants to call it "open space" and someone else wants to append the word "technology", that's fine. I choose not to do it.
(Here we go again.) My discomfort with using the "T" word is that I'm embarrassed by it. I personally find it difficult to apply it to a process that is so clearly un-technological! I think clients are confused by the term, especially after they've seen how the meeting actually goes. Personally, I find it a completely un-useful distinction. I also think, in the long run, you can call it spaghetti with marinara sauce and porcini mushrooms as long as people bring their passions to the theme in question, and as long as you open it, hold it, and close it well. BUT, Birgitt has raised another of her ground-breaking points with interesting implications for what we do. What is the nature of the universe? Is it truly open space? Time that is genuinely free? And if the universe is, in fact open space, and we seek a meeting process that most clearly and cleanly reflects the way of the natural universe, are we there yet? -- Ralph Copleman www.earthdreams.net 609-895-1629 * * ========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected] Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html =========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, 1.
