also, it occurs to me that 'transfer-in' would give rise to 'transfer-out,' no? ...which seems to preserve the duality between business as usual and business as open space. but we know the two are really the same, right? so why transfer and where's in? --- Hi Michael; I think of transfer in in non-OST meetings like the opening or calling the circle or whatever people do to bring people fully present to the gathering and purpose of the meeting. And so, there is indeed a transfer out...I always do a closing circle just as we do in Open Space to close the space (to the degree that we actually do that). For every beginning there is an ending> The "in" is being in the circle, present to the meeting and other participants (I always use a circle too for these meetings). The out is back out into the "business as usual" work space/ life....although having gathered in a way that enables people to connect deeply with themselves and each other I hope it might be different than usual, they might know and see each other differently.
