Anne Stadler I did an Open Space years ago with a buddhist community near San Diego, California. We had about 120 people of all ages, from 8 to 80's. The primary form of seating were floor pillows. For the elderly, we had a handful of chairs that moved with them, carried by the young people to breakout spaces as needed. In the circle, the chairs started in a back row on the first morning. By the end of the second day, they were intermingled with the cushions. The other fun thing that happened was that an alter, which started outside the circle, was also integrated into the circle by the end of the gathering.

We used the little cushions that you find at sports events. Seemed to work, and when the breakout groups formed everybody just carried their cushion.

Dearest OS community, I have been asked to co-host an Open Space next week where Chilean civil society and NGOs will propose ideas to enrich the political programs for the upcoming elections. An unknown number of people could come. Organizers estimate around 300-500. The venue is big enough. The umbrella question is being destiled and refined. In the organizing committee there is an argument about the convenience of using chairs. Some people feel attached to the almost untouchable sacred geometry of the circle of chairs. I personally believe that chairs are not an essential element of OST, while people can self-organize and decide if they prefer to talk standing up, sit on the ground...or even talk while talking. That is why I take the courage to ask for help to the collective wisdom present in this OS community. What successful stories can you share of opening space without chairs? What are the pros and cons of not using chairs in an Open Space? In what ways can (un)availability of chairs be a barrier or opportunity to unleash collective wisdom through self organization? mountains of Love from the cold foggy Chilean winter.
