Hi Harrison, "The last H0-T but not the last OT"
Well, well, OT18 was certainly a high note to end on!! And it was a great extravaganza. All of the OT's were pure Open Space, as they were originally designed to be Yes TO BE. Nothing was trying to happen, there were few, if any, givens'. The 4 principles and the one law etc. worked so well. It was Open Space with no convergence, only openings. Transformation at its best; much diversity in all directions, deep dialogue listening, spontaneous playfulness, and the opportunity to express our various selves'. While it does seem like a little death, where we cannot take for granted that another annual OT will continue, we need to pause, reflect and honor what you have given to us, Harrison. Over the years, you have given the world a great gift of transformation. A tool so simple, yet so profound--, as we live though it and experience it all. You have birthed many hundreds of mid-wives/facilitators to carry on. Open Space is now around the world. It is fast becoming the only way to do business. You HAVE passed the torch to us and it is now up to us -- all of us.--- to live, breathe, and do business in Open Space. There is so much more to say. Now is the time for experiencing and just being where we need to be. Thank you Harrison.
