Viv, When I recently did a series of 20 Open Space meetings with the Washington State Arts Commission around the state, I did it by recruiting about 20 experienced OS practitioners to help. We brought them together for half a day to ground them in the project, its purpose, its background, its aspirations. We enlisted their ideas in answering some outstanding design questions. And at their suggestion, we set up an e-mail group so that as each space was opened, the experience was shared. This turned out to be a magical learning community for all of us. As a way of extending the reach of what you are proposing, I heartily encourage you to consider some sort of practitioner group that can support the OSs that emerge from your initial meeting. Best of success to you, Peggy Peggy Holman The Open Circle Company 15347 SE 49th Place Bellevue, WA 98006 425.746.6274 * * ========================================================== [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.
