Oh sure. YOU alone a responsible for what you do/are -- unless of course you
are mentally impaired. And nobody can keep you "honest" better that your peers
and colleagues. Presuming that they step up and do their job. Of course, if
they sit on the sideline and allow terrible things to happen... It really is
about taking personal responsibility for the life you live and for those who
live it with you. Nothing is perfect, of course, but we try.

Harrison,
maybe you also indicate having everyone appreciated for what they do, as well
as having everyone responsible for what they do?

Mona… In all the years that I have facilitated/participated in Open Space I
have never seen any physical violence. Tense situations for sure, but the group
always handled it and, most importantly, learned from it. I think I understand
what you mean with a “code of conduct” but I’ve never seen the need for it and
more to the point such a code could shift responsibility for humane behavior
from the individual to the Code. My hope is always to “ultimize” (no such word,
I know) each person’s responsibility for themselves and their fellows. That it
always (in my experience) seem to work may prove something?

maybe you mean having individuals with some (common sense) that can be listed
in a (code of conduct) according to which they behave.

Quoting from Harrison in The Practice of Peace.
Stuart Kaufman's original work which focused on biological systems aka the
emergence of life on earth describes five pre-conditions for open space, one of
which is "A safe, nutrient-rich environment." Harrison goes on to describe
the equivalent for Human systems as "some kind of safety and support in the
overall environment."
I interpret safety as a psychologically safe space where individuals can act
and speak ( take risks, share diverse views etc.
Can it be too safe to support self-organization?

Greetings all,
I have questions about safety related to self-organization I would love others
thoughts on.
Is it possible for an environment can be too safe to support self-organization?
Can safety be at such a high level that it inhibits or slows down the
self-organizing process?
I'm very interested to hear others perspectives.
Best to all,
David
