G'day Chris With the time differences I seem to get your profound e-mails first thing in the morning; they are an inspiring start to the day.
Thanks for this most interesting data? I'll be sure to remember to say Xitchangani phapharati (Butterfly) when facilitating open space with the Bantu of Mozambique! Then again I could always hook my thumbs together and wave my hands. But this could be mistaken for a bird? And what will I do to demonstrate a bee? The dilemmas one faces with this open space stuff! Here's a thought re all this juicy stuff we banter back and forth across cyber space. While I realise the need for quality and the tweaking of the process for our own improvement at times I feel a certain formulaic mentality creeping in. A certain sense that Open Space could become this mechanistic formula that when done exactly the one, right, true, way will then yield these results.... . Open space to me is about accepting life on life's terms: Whoever comes are the right people, What ever happens is the only thing that could have etc. I wasn't at Swemark so I was not privy to those conversations. Did anyone post that perhaps OS is ultimately about love and trust instead of fear and control? No matter what I come across these days it seems when I hit closed space, power, control and ultimately fear are lurking somewhere in the background.
