Hi all of you!
I love to facilitate OS - I don't know the number of events - maybe 30-50.
Once in a while I write on the list and I also lurk a lot. I enjoy the
reflections and the enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing.
When I first heard about OS: In 2000 I was attending a 3 day-
(traditional)conference about the danish education system with some very
high status people - I was the new girl in class. I was bored and
frustrated - I couldn't get the point of it. They used a lot of words,
but I still didn't get the meaning.
One afternoon there would be an open space - and when Finn Kollerup
(danish os facilitator) introduced that you could choose your own topic,
I understood that I had the opportunity to choose a topic and to phrase
it in "my way". I did so prepared that nobody would show up.
What happened? About 10-12 people showed up and everyone of them had the
same experience: they felt the conference boring and sort of
disconnected from our lives - we had a beautiful understanding and
talked a lot and the rest of the conference we just had to look at each
other to confirm that we were not the only one don't getting the clue!
After that I simply copied what I had seen the facilitator do and did
some open spaces on my own - working all right. Later on I met Toke
Paludan Møller and Monica Nissen (danish os facilitators) and learned
about the OSlist - and discoverede that I hadn't copied the principles -
in some way they sneaked out in my first experience - since then I have
enjoyed to use them - and they are very much a part of my life now. As
Open space is - but thats too long a story for now...

i'm ... interested in questions like:
1. *when did you first hear about os or ost?

2. what was the hook? how did you notice it might have value?
3. when did you notice that you'd started letting it inform how you live?
4. what has happened since then? what difference does it seem to make?
From the thread, " [OSList] Who has facilitated at least 7 OST events?”

You are cordially invited to play:

*The Goal:*
·_To get a collective idea_of when & how members here actually became
aware of OST, noting any patterns and how these patterns may (or may
not) be changing over time.

play,) to disclose your own story.
*The Rules:*
