Suzanne, As always, you are heartfully open to yourself and others in expressing what is felt at your heart NOW! The reflective comment from your heart encourages us to post this ( <http://openspace.kr/2010_ospc1st/OSPC2010_1st.html> http://openspace.kr/2010_ospc1st/OSPC2010_1st.html) to our OS community. And, of course, please feel free to share this with anyone you care... The intention behind the 1-day OSPC was to certify people to practice living truly as humans who open themselves to others (for various reasons, we seem to forget so often) so as to let OS be shared with Entire Humanity across our planet inflicted with dangers that call for suprahuman collaboration. So, It seemed that Spending Just A Day Must Be Enough to Take The 1st Step of the Journey of Practicing OS. I took it as an invocation from the Innermost. Good head & good heart seem, in fact, inseparable in human questing for indivisible True Self of Caring the Indivisible Whole... Our waveriding journey seems to be an eternal journey of a quest for the Innermost True Self: the Indivisible Whole. I firmly believe that we the OS community represent those brave souls who intentionally take that journey constantly inviting entire humanity to join. Muchos Gratias, (The fonts are blown up for our easier reading ;-)

This is truly a labor of love. I still have tears in my eyes watching this from beginning to end. So elegant, so simple and such a gift to the participants. I love the black background, the individual components and everything. The music still sings inside me with the beautiful song that you chose: "It's all about YOU". The music has this old-fashion grab at your heart melody. I hope you share this beautiful gift with the entire OS community assuming your participants are ok with this. Again a real Labor of LOVE! Do I have permission to share it with a few of my friends who have just recently facilitated their first Open Spaces and who are living the bliss that I lived and still live being engaged in this work? The timing today could not have been better. Unbelievably, I still struggle with my internal voices often feeling so inadequate especially as I engage in pre-work with clients, hearing their worries and struggles while feeling them so drawn to Open Space for all the right reasons. With compassion, I try to hear and listen to them, being there for them as they find their own courage because the conditions for Open Space seem right. In those difficult moments, I hear and feel their concerns. I know they are looking for reassurance which I cannot give. This is part of the mutual journey we are on. It's not always easy because I still hear my own doubting voice, the one that rears its ugly head from the days when I too was always seeking "outcome"and "predictable results" disguised in my very controlling "let me help you" ways! Today this was good for my soul! I always feel inspired to realize that whether we are in Berlin, Korea, Chile, Israel or elsewhere, people are people. We all have our hopes, dreams and struggles and Open Space reminds us that we truly are beautiful creatures inside,-out and that life in the moment is a very grand thing! So Spark and Jackie, just know that by opening space and helping others open space as practitioners, you are giving so much. To illustrate that point, I use a quote from the ending of "the Tao of Holding Space" by Chris Corrigan which he titled Give it Away: "Harrison Owen released Open Space to the world. With few words and a wave of the hand, he offered it to all. Take a lesson from him. Give more than you are willing to and set your highest work into the world, so all may benefit from the spaces you will hold so beautifully." Spark and Jackie, this is what you have done and are doing. Thank you. With great admiration and affection, Suzanne I still struggle so much in learning to let go the reins of control that were so much part of my life and shutting down the little voice of criticism as I assess my depth or lack of depth. I should know by now that it's not about me as I've experienced the gift I feel that I succeed while facilitating the Open Space; where it's harder is in being present with clients during the pre-work with the eternal questions on "outcomes" and "what's next" . I feel deep compassion I felt myself transported to I said it quiet openly many times before that the click inside of me that Open Space triggered . I know it is time for me to silence this little voice inside of me that On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 7:07 AM, Spark <sp...@openspace.kr> wrote: > Hurrah! > > The 1-Day OSPC reassured the magical power of self organizing simplicity OS > can bring into the lives of entire participants in experiencing & learning > Open Space Practice! > > I deeply appreciate you- ho, mmp, suzanne, and silent other friends of our > OS community- for standing by us with your presence of authentic leadership > so graciously practiced as profound pedagogy and so charmingly encouraging > comment as friends.
