Dear Paul,
for myself, it was like a new lease on life opening up grand
perspectives to unlearn my decades old OD-facilitation modes.
Right, it should have been connected with grief but it was not.
At the time, back in 1996, I did not consciously realize that I was
unlearning anything... I was just in plain good spirits working in this
different way. Actually, folks that had known me for a long time came up
and expressed their surprise about how I had changed...
I do know now, however, that unlearning apparently takes as long as
learning something... so the trip is ongoing.
cheers

I've finally realised what's been bugging me.
It's the idea that unlearning facilitation is often a step of huge
grief. It somehow needs three days of facilitation.... Etc.
I beg to differ. The human soul needs only to open space for its own
unlearning.
Do we not believe we can invite those who want to unlearn to find to an
open space focused on unlearning. Is this the one thing OST cannot do ?
Issue an invitation - to unlearn together all we thought we knew about
facilitation. Use OST...
Dives for cover

there's something interesting happening that some of us might want
to join on september 9th. i don't think it's been mentioned here yet.
i first heard about "clean language" from harold shinsato. it seems
useful in our conversations with sponsors about invitations, to help
us work with their story in their own words. it'll be useful in
other settings, too, like coaching.
the event on the 9th is a 12-hour online gathering, i would say
heavily informed by open space or maybe it's an experimental online
adaptation of open space. but come for the topic, the ideas and
practice, and the learning, not for the process.
here are the links where you can check it out. i'm planning to
participate in the window that will be daytime in chicago.
what is the metaphorum online gathering?
