it's marvelous if officials really get aware of the power of changing forms of being-together, but I hope all of us are aware of the vanity of "decisions" such as cop21!!!

40 years ago when I was studying Environmental Design, required reading was J. 
Z. Young’s “An Introduction to the Study of Man”.  My take-away from that book 
was that there were periods in the evolution of homo sapien when cooperation 
was dominant over competition, and periods when competition was dominant over 
cooperation.  I also seem to remember that those periods of cooperation led to 
leaps in species development.

20 years later, I learned the process of Open Space Technology. I have imagined 
for many years that the open space process is the way that cave men got 
together when survival was at stake.  Where the chips were down and “we’re all 
in this together”.  During those eras of mankind where homo sapien behavior 
required collaboration in order to survive, OST principles were put to work to 
collectively figure out what needed to be done now.

The same is true today at the corporate table, as long as the big boss wants to 
hear from the troops.

Cheers,
Doug Marteinson

At wosonos 2008 in San Francisco, we were laughing that Open Space is like a 
Trojan horse -- to deftly bring indigenous ways of beingknowing back into the 
modern world and worldview and institutions.

What dear Angeles Arrien called a "braided way" forward in our complex planet. 
We moderns didn't realize what had happened until it was 'too late' :)

20 years ago (more?) when I was doing a lot of Open Spaces in South Africa 
right at the time of the end of Apartheid, The chiefs and others would smile 
and ask me where a white man stole something like that. They introduced me to 
Indaba. Seems like it is going strong after all these (thousand) years. And 
Open Space is a new process? J

Was it not Paris recently? A creatively facilitated process led to a

hi all,


i'm trying to find/remember a story... something about UN, treaty, climate or 
other big issue, delegates being sent to breakout rooms to work out details, 
i'm thinking it wasn't a formal open space process, but something that we all 
recognized as same.


did that story come through the list, or maybe the facebook group?  anybody got 
a link or a clue?


thanks, michael
