Yep, at least thats my experience, people doing things by themselves, being grand at it and enjoying it. Training: I find there is training in the sense of being an apprentice, learning the trade or the craftsmanship, like holding a pen... And then there is training in the art of facilitation (that has something to do with open space etc.) or better, a lifelong journey of discovery, in the art of doing nothing. For my money, thats where I invest it to increase my capacity to function as a facilitator, as in "doing nothing". peace mmp
Bottom line? People anywhere and everywhere can do it all by themselves. It takes only a good head and a good heart. Sure -- training is nice and, I think, useful. But i don't think it improves the quality of Open Space so much as it increases our capacity to function in Open Space, and to help others to do the same. So maybe you should just accept and enjoy the accolades and thanks -- declare victory -- and go home. You deserve it! Obviously you did a fantastic job -- doing nothing.
