Subject: Re: [OSList] Papers and writing about opening space

Hi Karl - would you say more about your questions? What are the initial 
directions of your inquiry around a "conceptual basis" of opening holding and 
closing space?

And what do you mean by "self structuring of open space"?


This is based on the notion of if there is an open space or a “free space” then 
sooner rather than later people start to structure it. OS seems to hold the 
space open by having the rule and laws which actually regulate the 
participatory process. I’ve been reading Deleuze and Guattari  on smooth ness 
and striation of space..



Best explanation I have found is here.. 
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.129.624&rep=rep1&type=pdf


And can you say a bit more about "pattern recognition as people participate in 
open space"

This is just an observation and I could be wrong ( probably am) but there’s a 
dynamic pattern to open space that is iterative that people recognise quickly 
and learn. A couple of years ago we opened space with 500 primary school 
children and at first it was chaotic, but as the day progressed the children 
learned the laws  etc and the movement from session to market place to newswall 
etc and this is similar to agile techniques that structure work practices but 
enable collaboration in spaces created by the iterative pattern of work , by 
its underpinning philosophy and through its ceremonies.

I wrote a PhD on open space using some unusual methodologies including Organic 
Inquiry (feminist heuristic phenomenology) and Indigenous Science.

I've also been involved in some of the conversations about researching Open 
Space over the years.

available online at

 along with s number of occasional papers.  You might find my first book, 
“Spirit: Transformation and Development in Organizations” interesting. It is 
not about Open Space per se but represents the basic framework out of which it 
grew. It is also the first time I used the words “open space.” Good luck – and 
I’d love to see where you go.

Subject: [OSList] Papers and writing about opening space

Dear Colleagues,

I am in the process of writing a PHD by publication and have become interested 
in the conceptual basis of opening space/holding space and closing space. I am 
also interested in the concept of self structuring  of open space (contentious 
I know) and pattern recognition as people participate in open space.

Does anyone know of any literature around these themes.. or equally, any 
thoughts?

Just a thought.

Many thanks in advance

Karl

Dear Thomas,

thank you for your dedication and creativity to explore open space. :) I am 
sure you have sooo many new stories to share about the essence and nature of 
open space!

I am really looking forward to experiencing your new level of thinking, being 
present and sharing new perspectives at our training Working with Open Space 
Technology<https://url6.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1fbopv-0006i4-4H&i=57e1b682&c=4KoYd3txOg74FgSvRiB48WY9GRDJQbjSaGtLC4C01RTimA3ukGYlz1rdVnCo_a8TjOz7mvcZglOSaq-EcuE2GDWBncOQkaqnsJUv5VpyIunkH9igllxmarRegAsfmWBBlqEiF18oXxAcXuSVnZdvJWRUpBhGeoPAAvpocY2dp2uBAMmt0l982J-m9gOuL1ZDUzhT9SOc00-t2c4tuHJSg30rQGBzfGivEnMLjIQRboeFKbdHaaJz8JCNl2aPoXUN>
 in the Netherlands in September this year.

It’s always so much fun to “work” with Doris, you and our participants.

Doris and myself are also planning to come to Iceland to the WOSonOS and hope 
to meet many of our dear & crazy colleagues from around the world there! ;)

I recently facilitated an Open Space Technology meeting at a school with 300 
young people who discussed how to get involved and support migrants coming to 
Germany.

Dear friends in Open Space
I just returned home after almost 6 months “in open space”. My wife and myself 
have been on a journey in 6 countries including NZ, Aus, Cambodia, Vietnam, 
Laos and Indonesia. No musts just going with the flow – being in open space. 
What a privilege and joy. And now I am back in our house, renovating my office 
and enjoying summer holiday 😊. I have also booked my tickets to join WOSonOS in 
Iceland<https://url6.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1fbopv-0006i4-4H&i=57e1b682&c=UHFJxIdP5QmGxWLyeonEXYWATpVd0jC1Srg2PM8QGOwf088v7qn3MLdWUNFkfihaJ3GxNrtxVr6cY8RI2wCRsi4CVvDOf37G3WQIb5b_u49P0mjXbGtoe0-07--zQL0n8nUg2nZCPeUdfg07shVv0HICaLGVh4ihFYE606BlJ-7hMxru7p0QYUn0fVYVTYUgV-gOvR0patSPtAgskl9n9UmC2k_CsXnj3WOOoDPKyYD-YDFPfZXU4P57nXhFmJPj>
 in October. Otherwise there is a lot of open space ahead which gives me the 
opportunity to be and see what emerges. Exciting!

I also want to take the opportunity to ask you to spread the word, if you know 
anyone interested to learn how to work with OST in a sustainable way. I am 
happy to offer our three day training September 12-14 in our favorite place in 
The Netherlands, 50 min from Amsterdam airport. This learning journey is 
facilitated by a great team where I am happy to “work” together with Doris 
Gottlieb and Anna Caroline Türk.
