Binding the circle

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:08:51 -0400 

Hi,
Yesterday I opened space for a dozen people who are part of an organization I've been serving for about ten years. They'd had me open space for them on a number of previous occasions, but there are always a few newcomers, so I make sure to walk the circle, do the complete opening, etc. 

Except my back was killing me, and it hurt to stand up and walk around.


So I took a seat in the circle and started off my explaining my  
(temporary) condition.  I said I wanted nevertheless to bind the  
circle, so I suggested we pass a "high-five" all the way around the  
circle and then back around again in the reverse direction.  So that's  
what we did, and it was fun.

Hello, dear colleagues -=20

=20


You may have seen an earlier message announcing that I am offering  
the =

Open

Space Learning Workshop at New York's Columbia University - hosted  
by =

their
Center for International Conflict Resolution.

I am a Fellow with the Center - workshop participants will include the

Director plus a lovely group of graduate students in their  
international
conflict resolution program, as well as other professionals who work  
in =

the
field of facilitation.


Some of my colleagues there have been using Open Space in such world  
hot

spots as Northern Iraq, Lebanon and East Timor.


As you may recall - in one Open Space event in Northern Iraq  
facilitated =

by
our colleague Dr. Zachary Metz - the Iraqi Peacebuilders Network was =
born.=20

=20

Such amazing things are birthed in Open Space...

=20


I have just found out that I may be able to take a few more  
participants =

in
this workshop.

=20

If you are in the New York region or nearby and would like to join us,
please contact me directly at your earliest convenience, for more

information on content, a pricing overview and registration  
materials.=20


Space is limited for this particular workshop, so I will be taking
additional participants on a 'first-come, first-served' basis.

=20

The workshop will run 2.5 days - October 3 from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm and
October 4 and 5 from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

=20

Perhaps I shall see you there...

=20


And: I do not yet know what my schedule will be like - but I will be  
in =

New

York City from September 30 (evening) through an early morning  
departure =

on

October 6. I'll be at the workshop all weekend and I do have some  
other
appointments, but if you are interested in having a casual  
stammtische =

(a

nice little chatting and snacking and meeting and greeting  
somewhere) on =

one
of those other days, let me know and we can see if it comes together.
Whatever happens, and all that... ;o)

=20


Cheers from a sunny Berkeley California afternoon (I understand it  
is a

little cloudy in New York right now)

=20

Lisa
