Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 123, Issue 3

[anne stadler via OSList]

Opening the circle 2.
Like any good host, I do not give them instructions until after I’ve
welcomed them. When I’ve returned to where I  started walking, I  stand
still & tell them the things they need to pay attention to: Law of 2Feet, 4
Principles; move & follow what you really care about; where things are
located; how to offer their gifts, questions, opportunities.

[anne stadler via OSList]

Opening the circle:
Remember you are welcoming them, and assuring them they each have a gift
that the whole circle needs, or else they wouldn’t be there. That is why
you walk the circle, clockwise to form the collective organism, looking at
each person you pass— not across the circle but on your left hand side— as
you welcome them, appreciate them, & assure them they each matter.  It
really is as simple as that. Good luck & blessings. You’ll do great!!

Re classic OS & online OS & holding cf to opening space.

Just wanting to dip my paddle in...

Hi folks: I guess I’m an “outlier”. To me “classic OS” is simply living the
law & the principles all the time.

The OST Marketplace is a wonderful form for facilitating large group
meetings. It’s based on natural forms used in all cultures (invitation &
welcome, bulletin board, marketplace, your individual market stall, your
gift initiative, meeting in circles)  that signal gathering, community,
belonging, and co-creation.

There are other forms that do not look like the OST Marketplace, but are
opening space. Eg: Appreciative Inquiry uses them SOMETIMES when the
Convenors & Facilitator are willing to be open- not attached- to outcomes
(thank you, dear Angeles Arrien!). Many really good teachers I know always
open learning spaces. StoryBridge opens space via storytelling, improv, &
theater performance.

Open Space organizations:
Holocracy IS a form of opening space for self organizing. And there’s at
least one other the name of which I am not remembering now. Too bad there
isn’t  more cross pollination between OST practitioners & the few conscious
experiments in self organizing organization!!! By now I would think there
should be.

Love to all of you darlings!  Be daring!
Anne Stadler

Harold Shinsato: Harrison’s challenge: what are the questions we haven’t
answered
yet?
Here are two that stir me:
1. What is “radical”opening space?
2. Sharing Lived experience: Documenting the essential elements and
patterns of behavior in an open space organization?

Re: to Harold: Managing how my OSList is configured

Thank you, dear Harold for your kind attention and education. I think I’ll
just wait for your update, and stick with receiving what the GNUMailMan is
sending to me. I’ve managed so far, grumbling at times. But I realize I’m
not an avid writer so my writing use reflects my desire to participate in
the written exchange: I do scan & read what grabs my attention. I
agree with you & others: maintaining the openness for ALL communications to
be viewed & archived is tremendously important & I appreciate that as one
of highest purposes for our system.
And, very belatedly... we are so blessed by you & your dedication &
persistence in supporting our learning capacity! You are a gem! Sent with
love! Thank you!!!

OST Report by Romy
Dear Open Spacers:
Romy, thanks for the well-organized & lucid report of last Monday‘s
(1/18)session. I was particularly taken with Chris Corrigan’s beautiful
story of the essence of opening space!  I’m not sure I’ll be with you F2F
for the weekend OST on Peace & High Performance. I’ve had an intense &
wonderfilled week or ten days opening inner & external space and right now
I’m looking for silence & a day or so of rest.
But be assured I AM with you in spirit, and in day to day practice of peace
& love. This IS a beloved community. I am s grateful for belonging to
it! 
Love & gratitude! Anne

[OSList] OS in Zoom times

[anne stadler via OSList]

Dears:
How wonderful to hear your plans to meet on Monday the 18th! Was hoping I
could join too; but that’s a time when I’ll already be in an OS on Zoom.

So I’ll just report that I’ve done quite a lot of virtual OS since Covid,
both using the Marketplace format and also using what I call “radical OS”:
opening the space via a Welcome followed by a simple ritual or chant and/or
check in. Breaking into groups depends on the numbers of folks likely to be
present, and can happen co-creatively as the experience matures. In groups
of twenty or under, the whole circle often morphs into a Boehmian
conversation or story sharing.
With larger groups the Marketplace format is essential. It’s worked best if
you have a technical facilitator and a host facilitating. Improbable has
done some wonderful OST gatherings using Qiqo Chat & Zoom.

I’ve found Zoom very intimate, allowing deep dives usually as a result of
encouraging people to share personal stories & embodied experience about
the Calling question/ intention. It’s been surprising & inspiring
especially in circumstances where people were strangers. AND new insights,
learning & relationships (substantive & personal) have emerged.

Whatever format I’ve experienced, it seems that these essentials have been
significant:
continual listening for openings as they arise; applying a
Process-oriented-Psychology attention to facilitating emergence; keeping in
mind implicitly & explicitly the whole “field.”; supporting personal story
sharing & observations.

Hope these reflections are useful. Love & gratitude to all!

[anne stadler via OSList]

Lucas’s suggestion:
1.  I’m happy to offer my (Family) Zoom account  , the one accommodating
100 people with breakouts etc.
2.  I’m happy to help in whatever way I can. Possibly Peggy can keep me
clued in re what is optimal. Will invite my peeps, etc.  And send messages
out to all the folks from Worldwork & OST around here.

Thanks Lucas! The Improbable OST/qigochat is awesomely wonderful! Thanks
Phelim & Jeremy & all parties to this event for inspiring

Love Anne

The new Space Race:

Thank you Michael. For offering the perfect  invitation! What I’m noticing
is that the words “I Care“ are absolutely crucial today in the self
organizing that is happening: happening to benefit others as well as
self-as you pointed out.

The Law of Two Feet is take responsibility for what you Care about (as I’ve
always explained it.)
People are doing this. It is easy to work with them to offer the simple
patterns of OST to help them get done what they want to do. It is easy for
them to perceive that this is how things work and to ask the next question:
how do we create the system that ensures this keeps happening? I am
participating with several groups of multi-age, multi-everything  people
who are doing that. So I’m speaking from observation/experience.

For us, it’s LIVE Open Space now. Offer Your gifts wherever you’re
attracted to go. While you do the work that is right in front of you, ask
the meta questions help people become aware of what system is actually
working for them AND listen to what all your comadres and compadres are
saying.

For me, it’s back in the day, before the corporate world became the most
wealthy & fascinating place to work in. It’s actually how we used to
organize ourselves. (Those days of experience are one of the things that
caused me to recognize the tremendous value of what dear Harrison Owen
brought forward.)

We have so much to offer & to learn!! Let’s use the Law of Two Feet (Acting
on “I Care”) right where we live. AND swap stories about how our
experiences reveal the systems & practices that serve the NEW WORLD that’s
coming into being. Love, Anne

Re 1. Good talk sparring partner:
I’m interested in Christine’s idea, & Lucas’s offer of a place to assemble
(garden) on Qiqo. Can’t come this Friday. Have conflicting Zoom calls. But
would like to join in future.

Jordan Lyons’ article (that Peggy linked to) and another initiative here
have demonstrated existing interest.  If they  used an OST model for
gathering & dialogue plus Processwork for conversation that would make them
more valuable.  I’ve suggested that to them. Peggy used a modified OST
marketplace for an online collaborative resource/sourcing effort that is
just starting here (an outgrowth of Jordan’s leadership). Not sure whether
that will continue, but it was FAR better than earlier efforts to help
people self-organize.

Thanks your your resources & collaborative natures, Christine, Lucas,
Peggy, Phelim, Suzanne, etc  Here’s to your optimal health!  Love.,

Meeting of Tribes

At Spirited Work, a 7 year experience of OST as a learning community of
practice, that met every season for 3&1/2 days and were linked
in-line...our circle was permeable, open to everyone. And we had amazing
appearances of “strangers” who contributed deeply to the well being of the
whole!

AND we had a circle of Stewards that re-upped each year: each of whom had a
personal inner work practice, who took responsibility for Spirited Work
infrastructure and learning about the nature of an OST collective. As Peggy
Holman said: “Stewards got the SW intensive!”

Hope this helps. Love & optimal health to all of you!!  Anne

Virtual OS experiment:

We’re IN one! Now At the Chaos period of complex self-Organization. As an
entity in the system, you need to ask what has heart & meaning for you & DO
IT. Give your support to something already attracting energy (a Strange
Attractor) and/or initiate a “session”!! Right now. Right where you ARE.
Love!  ANNE

>
> - Shaping, planning and managing our Open Space events;

>
> ? About Improbable ?
>
> Led by Phelim McDermott and Lee Simpson, Improbable is a theatre company
> that defies categorisation. We create work on every scale from remarkable
> productions in the great opera houses to tiny improvisation gigs in the
> tiniest venues; we are at the forefront of arts activism through Open
> Space, and create ground-breaking participation work; we help to hold the
> history of improvisation, and to shape and secure its future through the
> International Institute of Improvisation, the iii!.
>
> At the heart of our work is the practice and philosophy of improvisation,
> and all our work draws on improvisatory processes such as Open Space and
> Worldwork. This is true even for the large-scale opera and music theatre
> pieces that form the bulk of Improbable?s upcoming programme. We are a
> company that follows our intuition.
>
> Improbable was founded in 1996 as a limited liability partnership; became a
> charity in 2014; and is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council
> England 2018-22.
>
> ? Purpose of the Open Space Producer Role ?
>
> The Open Space Producer is responsible for the shaping and delivery of
> Improbable?s Open Space events. There are two main strands to this work:
> Devoted & Disgruntled and Open Space for Hire.
>
> 1. Devoted & Disgruntled (D) is an ongoing conversation about theatre and

> Devoted & Disgruntled brings together artists, audiences, funders, front of

Is there an OST Channel on which to load it—on Vimeo or somewhere, Harold?

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 102, Issue 5

World wide OS events re Climate Change

Hello everyone: Please check out (learn from & support) the Kapu Aloha
non-violent movement on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It is blocking the access road
to the land on which people want to build another large telescope. Look up
Kapu Aloha movement on Mauna Kea on Facebook groups & Instagram for
more info!!

It is entirely self-organizing, an expression of Hawaiian spirituality
centered in the Kapu Aloha protocols (which you can find in the Hawaii
Review). A core circle holds the space, the tap root, & the focus. Its
purpose is to protect the land of Mauna Kea, which is sacred to Hawaiians,
from having another large telescope built on it. Among the self- organized
activities that have been initiated is a “university” where people offer
relevant workshops and learning opportunities.

You could learn a great deal from this activity. It has been going on since
2015 and has consistently been non-violent, embedded in Hawaiian
spirituality & culture, and self organized. Some of its central leaders
have been OST  participants & have learned & practiced OS facilitation.

 I hope you’ll support Kapu Aloha energetically, physically, spiritually in
your own efforts to affect climate change. We must align ourselves with the
fires of Pele (the volcano energy) to unleash the fire of love that is
required!

Blessings!  Anne

Oops. Left out a word in my earlier statement. This is what I really mean:
Stand up for, and move to wherever you can act on what you love & care
about. If you find you’re not contributing there, use your two feet to move
on.

Law of Two feet:
Stand up and move to wherever you can act on what you love & care about.
If you find you’re not contributing there, use your two feet to move on.

WOSonOS:

   Ah!! It’s in Washington DC in November?? When? where?  I’ve decided to
join the golden oldies and come! Might as well have the entire history
present..
   Actually, dear Birgitt, I have an email version of the 1997 Barrett
Koehler OST At Work series you mention. I edited it. There were about 15
(or maybe more) articles about the use of Open Space in a whole variety of
places. I’ll put it on line as part of the historical artifacts collection!
   And Day’s Inn was where one of the first conversations about OST
certification took place. Ah me!  Too bad it’s so upscale now.

Love to all of you!  Anne

Re sacred space

Hi. I’ve written fairly extensively on this: both in my longer piece: “A
Way Home: Field Notes Living in Open Space” which is somewhere in the
worldwide OS archives (I sent it to Michael Herman for that purpose). And
in an article I wrote about Spirited Work, a seven year long Open Space
community of practice that met seasonally. We focused each Season on Angela
Arrien’s four fold way and we used OST as our organizational scaffolding.
If you want to read either of these, let me know, please.
anne.m.s...@gmail.com. Happy to share them with you. 

Re: [OSList] OS success stories in a business/corporate/startup environment

[anne stadler via OSList]

There’s a great chapter by Anil Sachdev in a book edited by Dinesh Chandra & 
someone else whose name I’m forgetting about his consistent use of Open Space 
in his business entrepreneur activities/organizations. And I have a chapter in 
that as well. 
I’m now in Holland. The book is home in my bookcase. I’m forwarding this to 
Dinesh so he can send you the title etc. ok?

Love Anne

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 88, Issue 7

[anne stadler via OSList]

Developing Open Space further:

Yes. Spirited Work: an Open Space learning community of practice at the Whidbey 
Institute for almost 7 full years. We lived Open Space, and learned about how 
it works, to work and organize together over time: face to face and virtually.

I wrote a short piece about it.  Contact me if you want a link (I have to find 
it again.) 
anne.m.s...@gmail.com

Also Harold Shinsato interviewed several of us about it. So somewhere there’s a 
video interview.

Re. Skye Hirst post

Yes. And what if this is already happening, and we simply need to be IN it? 
Consciously participating and connecting? BEING this form of governance? 
Opening the flow within, AWAKE in the field itself?  The particle & the wave in 
flow.
  Some of us had beginners taste of this in our Spirited Work OS learning 
community of practice in the late 1990s to 2004 or so.  Since then, we have 
been practicing in many settings, planetwide. 
  Now is the time to show up! Amp up! Serve what already IS! 

Thank you Skye.

Lisa Kimball Carlson
Dear Lisa: what a beautiful person & pioneer she was- in so many respects!  I 
met her for Part 2 of The Business of Business is Learning, Fall 1989. She was 
working with Metanet then. We had wonderful juicy conversations about the 
difference between communicating via video and text; opening space; on line 
Open Space. Those were a few of the topics, as well as human relations, spirit, 
discovery. In recent years I haven’t seen her, not since she became ill.  We 
used to connect when she came to Seattle to work with... Plexus was it?  I’m 
not much of a correspondent, face to face is my preference.  So each of us 
living on the opposite coast put a crimp in our communication.  I loved her, 
and valued her company and friendship very much.  I’m sad she’s left the 
planet, and certain her spirit is present!!

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 73, Issue 3 open space outdoors

[anne stadler via OSList]

One thing i notice about the info I posted below, it's not "remote location".  
It's in places where you can use tables chairs etc.  And it's ALL based on the 
experiences of doing OS outdoors here in US and in India.

AND you could do this in remote place.  Just bring writing materials and a roll 
of blue tape, and clothes line & pins for hanging offerings on-- or lay them 
out on ground where people can walk/stand around & read them. The elements & 
principles are the SAME!! Law of two feet and Four principles, circle, 
marketplace!!! 



Same basic elements:
Circle (preferably in shade!!)

Agenda Wall (either constructed; or outside building wall; or fence)

Colored Mr Sketchy pens and 
8 1/2" paper for posting offerings

Numbered Post-it notes to put on offerings.  I usually color code: Different 
color for each breakout start time. 

Numbered signs for breakout spaces that people can carry and mount so others 
can see.

It could help to have wireless hand held mike. I've mostly done without.  But I 
have loud voice.

Important to have spaces clearly delineated: table for art supplies, paper, 
pens, tape

Numbered Signs mounted on sticks for people to carry, or already in the ground, 
for breakout spaces.

Agenda Wall with OS info posters; plus schedule & map of locations.

It's really a great way to open space; because people are more likely to notice 
patterns in nature that inform or mirror human patterns, and you also get the 
benefit of silence cause people tend to sink into listening and noticing. 

Let us know what you learn.  Xxoo Anne

Case studies re"after OST"

There's one wanting to happen re Boeing Company: using OST horizontally to 
integrate functional relationships across companies (such as IT) and vertically 
to streamline making airplane doors.  Paul Gleiberman (gleiber...@icloud.com ) 
is one resource; Michael Lindfield is another. michael.lindfi...@comcast.net.  
Also used in their leadership education curriculum. 

Spirited Work was a six plus years application of OS for governance. There are 
a number of us who'd be able to contribute to a research project on that: Me, 
Peggy Holman, Mark Hower, Gabriel Shirley (designing and using IT) Mark Jones, 
Mary Ella Keblusek. 
None done yet that I know of.

Planning and OS
Lovely to see you two rocking on your front porch sharing stories!  Like the 
old days... (only then it was more like butting heads at times!). 

My 2 cents: you can open space to do anything.  Just have to focus on the 
question you need to ask (that has heart and meaning for you), AND realize 
(actually live) the four principles.

Love love dear old pals!  Anne

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 66, Issue 14

Re John Engle:
In same FB post John described being immediately helped by a stranger who took 
him and his companion to his nearby home; stuck with them all day, helping them 
wash up, clean their wounds, take car to get it fixed.  Incredible unstinting 
compassionate action by this gentleman, who said his wife had been kidnapped a 
few years ago so he empathized with what they were going through. Thank 
goodness they were not harmed by the bullets; and that Patrice was/is there to 
help.

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 65, Issue 16

[anne stadler via OSList]

Safety:

Thanks for the question Harold, and the responses from Peggy & Birgit.  

I want to go deeper into your second point Harold. 

In my experience, many of 
the situations where we're opening space (especially multicultural and with 
people from divergent races, mixtures & backgrounds) -- and the spaces being 
opened by the Universal Field-- require deliberate deep prior conversations by 
the facilitation team to become aware of their own triggers and release them; 
commitment to a collective intention of connecting to source (with each person 
choosing way of doing so); and holding selves & each other accountable via the 
development of a practice that's happening during the gathering. 

Beyond "welcoming", i would say we must be "loving" whatever the Universe 
brings in the door.  It's a tall order and a truly great practice!

Love to you dear ones!!

Anne

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 58, Issue 14

[anne stadler via OSList]

Thomas Hermann's question:

I love what you're doing, Thomas! 
And i encourage you to treat any meeting as a "real open space". By that i 
mean, open the space within yourself to welcome everyone.  Open up the room so 
people can easily take responsibility (tools etc easily at hand in same place 
each time.)   Open up the meeting by coming together in a "circle", then 
breaking into the chaos of people moving their chairs as they self organize. 
Open up the agenda by asking each time "what's up? That you want to take 
responsibility for?" Open up comfort and familiarity by cooking or eating 
together (people bringing food from home to share??) Do a very few consistent 
rituals: opening circle, self-organizing, food, closing circle for 
reflection/announcements, simple patterns, repeated each time. 

My sense is that You're creating a "hearth" for your community. 

Blessings!  Wish I lived near you!!

Anne

OST in India.  I've done it there almost every year since 1991. 
Contact Anil Sachdev at anil.sach...@soilindia.net
They might have some video.

Shailendra Kumar was the Director of The National Dairy Development Board, a 
partner of AMUL, the milk cooperative.  I did a number of Open Spaces for NDDB 
and farmers and coop. leaders in the early 90s.  Maybe they'd have some video.  
Shailendra would know. 
shailendra.ku...@soilindia.net

Or the original video Learning in OS i did with HHO had material from the Goa 
gathering in it. If HHO still has copy it might serve some purpose. 

Good luck!! It works beautifully

 Hello, dear colleagues - 
 
 Just a reminder about these two upcoming events.
 
 As they are happening in just a few weeks, it is very helpful to the event 
 organizers if you actually register =now= so the event hosts know which rooms 
 to book and so they can spend their resources wisely based on actual numbers 
 of registrants. 
 
 And did you know that for citizens of the countries listed on this site, you 
 do not need a visa to visit Poland? That makes it even easier for some of you 
 to join us!
 
 Both of these events include individual-to-you registration pricing - so if 
 you can afford the resources to travel and the time to spend a few 
 fascinating days with us I know you can also afford to register for one or 
 both of these co-learning events.
 
 ___
 
 Open Space Learning Workshop - 8-9-10 September 2015 - Krak?w, Poland
 
 An opportunity for people of all levels of experience to share and explore 
 the latest best practices and lessons-learned from around the world.
 If you are new to Open Space this will give you an exploration of all the 
 elements that can support the success of an Open Space event - from pre-work 
 to documentation design to hearing stories of what to do when conflict 
 emerges, how to handle power dynamics, and more.
 If you already use this process, join us to share not just =that= you do 
 something in a certain way, but to reflect with us about =why= and to see if 
 others do it slightly differently - and =why=. 
 Plus I know that we have many stories from the field to share.
 
 I am the host and facilitator for this workshop, so contact me directly for 
 more information about content, schedule and pricing, and to register for it 
 - lisah...@openingspace.net - See also The Open Space Learning Workshop - 
 Krak?w, Poland
 
 ___
 
 The World Open Space on Open Space (?WOSonOS?) - 10-11-12-13 September 2015 - 
 Krak?w, Poland
 
 This is not a training, but rather a ?user?s conference? for people who know 
 and use Open Space - our annual international gathering. Last year in Serbia, 
 next year?? I am already in touch with two countries who are preparing to 
 invite - because I love to help them ?behind the scenes?.  And we shall see 
 how the story deepens over the next several weeks. (If your country team is 
 thinking about inviting for a future year, do contact me as I have some 
 wisdom that past host teams would like to share with you).
 
 Some people attend both of these events - first the workshop to reflect upon 
 and discover all we know about how to prepare for, document,

 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
 
 Come this 4th of July it will be 30 years since something called Open Space
 Technology happened. At the time, we (that would be me, for sure) didn't
 have a clue what it was or where it was headed. Since then it seems like a
 lot of good stuff has come down. Of course we need to remember the learnings
 from the '60's - Never trust anyone over 30. Well... we just got there!
 Everybody should be well advised that what happens next is TOTALLY their
 responsibility... Or something.
 
 
 
 What happens next is definitely your responsibility. Having entered into my
 80th year, I am well past the age of discretion. But I do have a few
 thoughts that may, or may not, be germane.
 
 
 
 I don't think this is the end of something. I do believe it is the
 beginning. And... There will always be a time when the first timers (as
 participants or facilitators) gets the WOW Experience (Thank you Tom
 Peters). Kind of like the first ride on your bicycle. Millions of people
 have done it before you. But your First Ride is always unique (for you). 
 
 
 
 There will always be times when bits and pieces of our common experience in
 Open Space are held out as singularities - something strange and unique.
 The latest version is called, Liberating Structures (Thank you Henri!).
 Wonderful Idea, I think, but just a very small part of the whole. 
 
 
 
 And for all those wonderful people who are attempting to wed Open Space to
 Agile (Dan et al you know who I am talking about) - I say Three Cheers! And
 I also hope that the day will come when it is recognized that truly Agile
 organization are fully, consciously, intentionally - self organizing. At
 that point, you don't have to wed anything to anything. Just be what you
 already are. Which is another way of saying that SCRUM (along with all the
 other techniques) sound nice, but are yet one more example of working too
 hard.
 
 
 
 And What Next? Truly, I am out of crystal balls. But I rather think the
 beginning will begin when we call Full Stop on any attempt to organize
 anything. And in that momentary space (Open Space?) just notice what is
 organizing all by itself. Amazing! And we didn't do a thing. Which leads
 naturally to the next question... How do we take advantage of the winds of
 our existence to bring our ships to harbors of fullness and greatness?
 
 
 
 And then we may take a lesson from Sailors and the Sea. Sailors do not
 create the wind or the Sea. Although many have tried. All have failed. But
 they have learned to ride the winds and the seas to their advantage. We have
 the same opportunity.
 
 
 
 On this 30th Birthday, and as I approach my 80th - Good Luck and Carry On!

 I love your intensity. But I do have to ask. 8 Minutes?  On which
 planet, what galaxy? And who cares? Deep silence makes its own time. My
 experience.

 Hi Anne,
 
 Thanks for your offering. The most incredible experiences (and hyper
 performance) of Open Space I am sure come from inviting the trans-finite,
 and not just the finite.
 
 Although this isn't rote, I'm curious as to your experience of offering this
 grounding exercise just after the welcome and the logistics. This does seem
 like a natural placement to me, and corresponds roughly to the point where
 Harrison generally walks the circle and asks folks to be aware of the others
 in the room.
 
 And at the same time, this doesn't specifically addresses the comment from a
 participant of a need for some silent reflection time just before people
 were invited to generate, announce, and post their sessions.
 
 Would 8 minutes of grounding silence after the welcome and logistics opened

I probably also remind them to check what has heart and meaning and offer that

Re: [OSList] How much Silence at beginning?

[Anne Stadler via OSList]

I actually never interrupt the flow after i tell people about how to offer 
their ideas.  The field is already open and we are IN it at that time as a 
result of the early beginning silence.  That's my experience anyhow, my dear 
Harold.

Loved your TV appearance.  You brought your usual clarity.

[OSList] How much Silence at beginning?

[Anne Stadler via OSList]

How much silence depends on your intention:
Are you opening space for the transfinite AND finite fields to emerge?  Or only 
the finite?
Are you opening inner space so people will access their capacity for being 
guided by the resonating field in their heart/mind/body awareness? (In order to 
really take responsibility for what they care about??) 

If finite, a small amount of silence helps people settle into their bodies and 
bring themselves here...now. 

Transfinite and finite (which is what i do) opens a more expansive space.  It's 
not Woo-Woo.  The work the field is supporting gets done regardless, just more 
co-creatively, more quickly-- synchronicities spark rapidly, delighting 
participants. 

Re silence: 
   1. I sometimes cue people to be aware of their feet on the floor, their 
legs, their bottoms on the chair, shoulders, top of head.

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 50, Issue 5

[Anne Stadler via OSList]

Re 30 year anniversary:

Hi folks: 
   i've been wondering what i could offer.  I've been wandering a slightly 
different path: living open space since 1989 in Goa-- when Open Space 
Technology was named by V.S.Mahesh and OS came out of the OT closet to the 
whole world at the Business of Business is Learning gatherings. (In fact, one 
of Harrison's pals in OT, Elsa Porter, tells the story of Harrison calling her 
up before Goa to refresh his mind about what were the principles of OS!) 
   So I've done quite a bit of what looks similar to what you all talk about  
do, and also participated in exploring several different forms/manifestations 
of open space learning communities to see if it worked long-term.
   I have a sort of Memoir/short book/series of stories that I've rewritten a 
couple of times, and put aside, not feeling it was complete, or knowing 
exactly how to polish it further.  If we had some sort of Archive that it might 
fit into, i'd be happy to share it. 
   However it ranges rather far afield from the organizational manifestations 
of AgileOS and OST and OD and OT; since I define opening space from the 
perspective of a complex system: ie: I'm ( each of us is) a fractal of the 
larger whole, so the journey of opening space is starting from within, working 
in a circle in a sacred manner, developing and healing ourselves, our 
relations, and our world. (Chief Phil Lane, Jr, his summary of indigenous 
wisdom gleaned from interviewing Elders.) AND for me and us it is a journey of 
Self-realization. Period. 
   So if you're motivated, let me know what might be useful.
   I'm in joying life!  Hope you are too!! 
Thank you dear OS circle!!  You're so juicy!!
Love, Anne

 This 2 day course in Orange, CA will be using Open Space to teach Open 
 Space, specifically Open Agile Adoption (aka OpenSpace Agility). For 
 anyone wanting to bring more open space into formal organizations of any 
 sort.
 
 https://ti.to/training4osa/oaa-training-1st-west-coast/
 
 This is the first course I'll be teaching around OST, and it's also the 
 last day for the early bird discount. If you know anyone this might 
 serve - I hope you'll pass on the word.
 
 Thanks!

 Lisa - I do love it when you go on! J And, as you might suspect, I think you
 are working a tad too hard. Not in doing what you love... but in talking
 about it. A Short Take might be something like - Make a small circle of
 chairs (with a few left over, piled on the side), sit down, and BE (in your
 case) LISA (and if you are somebody else, fill in the BLANK). Nothing to
 tell, nothing to do. Just BE there. Amazing who drops by. Just be prepared
 to be surprised. 
 
 
 
 And if it helps, remember... Whoever comes is/are the right people. Whatever
 happens is the only thing that could have. Whenever it starts is the right
 time. When it's over it's over. You could also say, Wherever it happens is
 the right place. But no need. You are already IN the RIGHT Place.

[OSList] Reflections on Paul L. HHO and Daniel's offerings

[anne stadler via OSList]

Hello all:  I have troubles with this ListServe business...too iterative
and sequential.  So bear with me please.

Re. Paul's offering:  YES! If you mean we need to BE emergent and
experimental...I agree... totally.
Let's BE experimental: expand on what works? As well as re-member our
roots/lineage.  Re-member, meaning put together. This is a  collegial,
collaborative effortNOT an heroic journey [?].

Personal story:  (which you can skip if you want)
 ;-)
I was attracted to OST because it reminded me of the Boids simulation.
(That was based on a few principles that had nothing to do with flocking,
but that actually simulated birds flocking.) I felt that OST was THAT for
self-organizing systems.
   Also for me, OST is a technology for expressing the essence of a group's
callingwhether that group is a person, family, a small town, a
corporation...whatever.  A person?  how could a person be a group?  Well,
it is: a group of cells, energies, organs, etc. etc.  So early on, I
started living OST, because I believed in the fractal theory, and I noticed
that opening 'inner' space first, produced more lasting results than simply
opening marketplaces.
I also noticed that whatever happened was actually provisional...if
resistance arises, then open more space right where the resistance IS.
 (Thank you, Arny Mindell and Processwork.)...and something else emerges.
So I also noticed that emergence and therefore learning are key essences
of OST.
   So I am interested in
What have we learned about the essence of opening space?   Here is one of
my observations:
   1. A full-blown emergency/crisis shows us that opening space is robust
and practical:
eg. re-designing the ATT building for the Atlanta Olympics, 3 days long;
eg.  redesigning the doors produced for Boeing airplanes (OST Held in two
locations simultaneously, involving the whole value chain in both places,
linked by phone and internet, 3 days long.)
eg.  designing an inter-disciplinary scientific culture and practices at
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, 2 days plus followups.)
There are other such stories.
They are not heroic nor dependent on a super-human.  They reveal what is
actually present *all the time*, but is obscured by our own needs,
distractions, fears.

What do these examples have in common?
They're focused on practical challenges/opportunities;
it's an Impossible situation; practical solutions can't manifest
iteratively; the need is urgent, therefore need for control must be
suspended; all hands are essential for successful practical outcome; the
future is right NOW! and finally...
the facilitator has tried to address his/her own fears and needs for
control, opened his/her inner space to allow whatever needed to happen to
emerge--and it DID!

Question??  Are these stories are the new normal if we could step out of
our own fears and needs and realize that??

Hypothesis: The field (out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing,
(rumi) and we humans have what is needed IF we open the space and allow
this to reveal itself.

  Re. HHO's insistence on actually being an OS organization: I agree.
That's why I co-founded Spirited Work.  I wanted to learn from experience
of sustainable OS, rather than in successful events.
   One example we could learn from:
Anil Sachdev who is the Founder of the School of Inspired Leadership
(SOILIndia) has used open space ever since 1991, a few years after it was
brought into the mainstream at the Business of Business is Learning OST
gathering in Goa India.  I have worked with him all those years.  We can
both confirm that opening a marketplace is only one way of opening space.
There are many iterations of the fundamental form. The principles and law
are robust and permanent features of the cultures of all the organizations
he's founded.
   And what we did in SW is similar to what Daniel is doing.
At SW, the OST marketplace happened every quarter.  AND like his
initiative, whoever came were the right people.  Our governance patterns
and forms emerged.  We lived OS while we were together and in-between in
our own workplaces. Each of us learned at whatever level we needed to
learn.  For me, it was from inside to outer. (ala Chief Phil Lane Jr.
Start from within, work in a circle in a sacred manner, develop and heal
ourselves, our relations, and our world.)

To HHO I'd also say: Whatever happens is the only thing that could.  So
don't get frustrated.

 Circling back to Paul with whom this note started, in the citations I have
identified, we realized at the outset we were not repeating the past.
Nor were we burning it up.  We were honoring its *essence* in the
present, in the simplest most refined ways that were called for
*now...*Appropriate
technology applied Just-in-Time  ;-)?

Love to all!  Anne

Dear Harold: a deep bow and tremendous gratitude for the meticulous way you've 
stewarded OST and helped it open to its calling.  You are truly a gift from 
beyond!! 

I hope you and Daniel (and all of those who are so inspired) will pursue your 
inklings re whether the self organizing nature of the internet/wwweb mirrors 
OST. And if yes? What can we learn?  For instance, what is the impact 
situationally of Friends or friending?? How might that change achieving 
flow, or viral 
transmission/adoption of new cultural memes?? 
Why Agile/OST marriage??
Etc.

Love to all, especially YOU, dear Harold! Anne

 Death and dying are essential. In the 1990s, there was an amazing 
 economy in the USA happening. And I remember discussing with Roberta my 
 wife this can't go on forever. And she said, and we together 
 continue to say exactly what you said Harrison... ...everything has a 
 beginning, a middle and and end.
 
 My sense is, and I think the sense of many others, is that worldwide, we 
 are near the middle of the end of all the cherished 
 institutionsand the standard narrative that has worked for so 
 long. It's over.
 
 To get a good job- get a good education.
 
 Work really hard and you'll be prosper more than you parents did.
 
 
 
 Really? How's that story working for us these days? Now what's 
 interesting is the wave riders...wave people seem to be doing OK.
 
 ... A ronin was a masterless samuri during the feudal period 
 (1185?1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the ruin or fall 
 of his master, or after the loss of his master?s favor or privilege. 
 Since a ronin doesn?t serve any lord, he is no longer a samurai. A 
 samurai is a ?servant?, since the noun came from the verb ?/saburau/? 
 which is the Japanese for ?to serve?.*The word **/ronin/**literally 
 means ?wave man?* ? one who is tossed about, as on the waves in the sea...

Re:Agile adoption

Thanks so much Dan for the meticulous parsing and development of OST that OS 
Agile Adoption represents!  

I wonder if the patterns you've identified are simply natural patterns for 
group Self-Realization, encoded in our DNA?  Does that perhaps account for the 
fact that people intrinsically know how to DO what they're invited to do when 
the OST Marketplace space is opened?? 
I wonder whether we've been  delaying human evolution by being so slow to 
recognize that? 

One other question: are the principles and law of OST in fact the code for Self 
Realization at all levels of form??

Here's a framework that i feel describes the heart of OST. It was articulated 
by Chief Phil Lane Jr. who developed it after interviewing many indigenous 
Elders about self realization: 
Start from within.  Work in a circle in a sacred manner. Learn and develop 
ourselves, our relations, and our world. 

Final question: What space does OST open??

Thanks much, again, Daniel!

 Yes, it is only a short time away and you may have already filled up your

 Why?  
 Here's the situation I am perceiving: We have a woeful dearth of leadership 
 in our institutional life today.  Old institutions are falling apart; 
 long-ignored wrongs and crimes against peoples' are demanding to be 
 addressed; our systems of law are revealed to be riddled with inequality,  
 violence disguised as justice-- wholly inadequate to provide stability or 
 sources of integrity.
 
 Many of us have been experimenting with fundamentally different forms of 
 leadership: leadership that starts from within, includes the circle of 
 others, and extends to the whole.  In the words of Angeles Arrien, we've 
 been walking the mystical path with practical feet.  Some have radically 
 practiced opening space in all realms of our lives; others have experimented 
 with co-creative leadership  via the arts, Bioneering, technology, 
 compassionate action, etc.  All of us have been working at the grass roots, 
 from the bottom up, learning the hard way, feet on the ground.  Our 
 collective wisdom is NEEDED now! 
  
 What have we learned? What can we bring to the Shift we are living in?
 
 I feel it is high time  (past time, actually) we came together in Open Space, 
 and let the Universal Intelligent field reveal itself through us.  There are 
 new systems of governance, new practices of leadership and learning ready to

 I know the future is NOW...not in some distant vision. I hope to share it 
 with you.

 manifest.  And YOU are one of the makers.  I'll be 84 years old in March.  
 I know the future is NOW...not in some distant vision. I hope to share it 
 with you.
 
 Please ask yourself: Does this resonate with me?  Am I called to be at this 
 gathering?  
 
 If you get Yes, go to the Registration link, fill it out and COME.  If you 
 also want to invite others with whom you learn and vibe, please feel FREE.
 Here's the REGISTRATION link:

[OSList] Children in OS

[Anne Stadler via OSList]

I' ve had many many experiences with children in OS.  There were always 
children at Spirited Work. One family brought their one year old twins to the 
first one; and they continued to participate till SW ended, 7 years later. At 
the final session, i remember one of the twins took some responsibility for 
opening the circle, at her own initiative. And children offered sessions on a 
regular basis. (Which all ages of people signed up for.) 

I've often worked with schools.  In those OST gatherings, all stakeholders 
including the older children participate. (In elementary schools that is 
usually 6th and 7th graders.) Kids facilitate the sessions they post, often 
surprising patents and teachers. 

All ages gatherings are very rich and delightful.  I heartily encourage them! 

Joyous and peaceful holidays to you all!!  Anne

Re self organization research:

Wow!  I just followed Harold's shouting.  It took me a while to learn how to 
delete about 5 minutes worth of repetitive Digest material-- and i ended up 
deleting it all.  So please bear with me if i don't accurately respond to your 
very articulate words, John B and Daniel.  

Daniel: i appreciated your report on the conversation you and your wife had. I 
do now get why stigmergy is a word you and John B. find valuable. I'm engaged 
with three other people in experimenting with vibration (sound, music, 
vocalizing), and language, and visual art, and movement; ALL forms present and 
actively communicating in real time. Our version of stigmergy :-)?
We open space by sourcing what wants attention.  Then each of us contributes to 
kind of an improvised dialogic experience in which we use all those modalities 
(as we each are guided) to explore the subject or question.  One of us also 
maps the finite and transfinite levels of consciousness present as the 
experience evolves.  We jokingly call it our SRI. (Spiritual Research 
Institute). It's very fascinating.

John: my hunch is that the research image i have in my mind may not be 
research in academic terms.  I was married to a geneticist; and many of my 
friends are biologists or bio-physicists.  So I think I know you have to be 
able to design research so you can get unambiguous answers.
I suspect in OST we are often venturing in transfinite levels of consciousness 
as well as in the finite
levels.  I have a couple of dear friends and co-creators who map the presence 
of those levels of consciousness in real time with people doing real work. (One 
of them participates in our SRI experiments.) 

I'm personally curious about what's happening  in opening space when people 
concur that magic happened, innovation gushed forth,  synchronicities  
abounded. My hunch is that we simply started participating in the transfinite 
field while engaged in finite work. What gives rise to that? Is it a glimpse of 
where we could be all the time in all our relations?  

Thanks for putting up with my musings. I appreciate your generousity.  If this 
is too far off what you care about, please say so. I want you to get on with 
discovering your research question, John B. 

Harold: I hope this post isn't too long.
Blessings all!  Anne

Is OpenSpace a Meeting?

Dear Daniel et al

For me, open space is a condition of life. 

OST has many forms: a meeting or gathering is the most common collective form. 
However, it's also a way of life, a technology (tool) for living one's life. 
Do you find yourself (in your inner talk) applying the law or principles that 
way?
Eg: Do i really care about that? Maybe i'll pass that one up. 
Or in relationship?  
Eg: someone you were expecting at a meeting doesn't show up: Oh ok...Whoever 
comes are the right people. 
For me, this form of OST keeps me in the flow of the life force.  
Hmmm maybe OST is a way of tracking the life force?  In one's personal life as 
well as our collective life??

Those are some thoughts that are coming to me.  You're raising interesting 
questions, Daniel.  Thanks!

 Hi Agnieszka,
 
 I feel you have excellent instincts with respect to your discomfort with 
 the idea of Facilitating and participating as a member at the same time. 
 Like you,  I, too am also uncomfortable... occupying the roles of 
 Facilitator and Participant at the same time.
 
 I coach Agile. If I am functioning as coach to the group, I always 
 refrain from Facilitating OST, because my current belief is that I 
 probably cannot be effective as the OST Facilitator in that spot.
 
 In any event, instead, I prefer to pay a friend to do the Facilitation, 
 and then play in the OST game as a Participant.
 
 
 And so: I wonder if you might have a local friend, someone interested in 
 your OST work, who is not currently a member of your team. I wonder if 
 you could teach this local-friend person the basics of OST Facilitation 
 ahead of time. I wonder if you could teach this person how to do it, in, 
 say, 1 or 2 hours, with a little, private, mock chairs-in-a-circle 
 walk-through, with the posters, etc.
 
 I wonder if your friend might then be willing to actually do the 
 Facilitation of your team's OST event,  in exchange for your excellent 
 before/during/after mentoring (and the very excellent learn-by-doing 
 opportunity.)
 
 Kind Regards,
 Daniel

 Hi Agnieszka,
 
 I feel you have excellent instincts with respect to your discomfort with 
 the idea of Facilitating and participating as a member at the same time. 
 Like you,  I, too am also uncomfortable... occupying the roles of 
 Facilitator and Participant at the same time.
 
 I coach Agile. If I am functioning as coach to the group, I always 
 refrain from Facilitating OST, because my current belief is that I 
 probably cannot be effective as the OST Facilitator in that spot.
 
 In any event, instead, I prefer to pay a friend to do the Facilitation, 
 and then play in the OST game as a Participant.
 
 
 And so: I wonder if you might have a local friend, someone interested in 
 your OST work, who is not currently a member of your team. I wonder if 
 you could teach this local-friend person the basics of OST Facilitation 
 ahead of time. I wonder if you could teach this person how to do it, in, 
 say, 1 or 2 hours, with a little, private, mock chairs-in-a-circle 
 walk-through, with the posters, etc.
 
 I wonder if your friend might then be willing to actually do the 
 Facilitation of your team's OST event,  in exchange for your excellent 
 before/during/after mentoring (and the very excellent learn-by-doing 
 opportunity.)
 
 Kind Regards,
 Daniel

 Hi All,
 
 I am to facilitate an Open Space for a team I am a part of and I 
 really would like to participate, but as a facilitator, I know I 
 shouldn't.
 We will probably not able to hire an external facilitator, so I'm 
 tryng to work this out...
 
 Do you have similar experiences? Any ideas? Recommendations?

Groups and Will

No question in my experience:  groups have purpose and Flow in a particular 
direction.

The two OS principles refer  to Spirit: when IT starts... Etc. When IT'S 
over... Etc. The existence of the transfinite or Spirit is definitely palpable.

We saw that in Spirited Work (an OS Learning community of practice)  several 
times.  Eg:
1. When some of us Stewards began to meditate on What is Spirited Work's 
higher purpose?  And got clear collective answers.  
2. When, in its 7th year, it was over. The energy had visibly departed.  We 
all knew that.  So we declared it complete and moved on to experiment with 
other forms.  

The purpose: being a co-creative collective,  has continued to manifest in 
other forms. 

I agree with HO re groups and individuals  An individual is a form of 
group.  

Will might be evolutionary flow?  Maybe?

Re Holding the space
All great insights. AND i prefer OPENing the spaceperiod. It locates 
attention in the right place.

 In Process Work terms: disturbance is happening because a secondary or 
hidden process is demanding attention. New possibility is ready to emerge, and 
will ultimately do so via breakdown if needed.

What do you need to do? OPEN to what wants to happen: innerly, and in the 
group, and allowing the flow of life force to emerge with ease. Form will be 
guided by the Law of Two Feet (my interpretation) take responsibility for what 
you love.  And keep opening to that flow.

 Brilliant work Harold. I also was thinking about the famous pediatrician and 
 therapist Winnicott and his theory of the mothering 'holding environment' in 
 which children develop. As the child grows, the space being held grows too, 
 tho not named that way specifically.
 
 Another child therapist Sandner literally talked about an Open Space held by 
 the mother role along similar lines. He once came to a talk by Harrison.
 
 Nozick reminds me of good old Werner Erhard saying we are a 'clearing' in 
 which bodymind and the world show up. Influenced by Heidegger et al.
 
 Which takes us to the Kabbalist notion of 'tzimtzum' as the ein sof gets 
 lonely and contracts so that a space appears for a universe to emerge. Jewish 
 people who follow torah are rereading the first chapters of genesis this 
 week. But that's another story.

 Hi Jennifer!
 
 Thanks for referencing such a great research tool. I looked at all the books 
 listed from 1900-1981. Check this out!
 
 Nothing before '51, and over half of the 342 references were from 1951-54. 
 There was a dark age of holding space from '55-'70, with no references. And 
 of the 342, over 96% treated holding space as a noun, rather than a 
 process. They are about physical containers for stuff, livestock, or 
 prisoners.
 
 Below I list the exceptions - some of which seem to hint at the way holding 
 space as an element of facilitation, though none do so directly. The Leibniz 
 and Kant papers were interesting in that they peered into the concept of 
 space itself, holding the concept if not actual space. Very interesting is 
 that the military concept of holding space related to the Vietnam war 
 starts to come close to the facilitation sense, but the last one by Robert 
 Nozick seems to come the closest.
 
 1953 - Princeton Alumni Magazine - holding space for slots in a talent show 
 at Princeton.
 
 1971 - The New Yorker Volume 46, Part 7 - page 85 - Farther toward Green, a 
 young woman named Vaughan Kaprow, shivering in the evening cold, began 
 holding space for another organization that had a special greeting for Billy 
 Graham ? the

 therapist Winnicott and his theory of the mothering 'holding environment' in 
 which children develop. As the child grows, the space being held grows too, 
 tho not named that way specifically.
 
 Another child therapist Sandner literally talked about an Open Space held by 
 the mother role along similar lines. He once came to a talk by Harrison.
 
 Nozick reminds me of good old Werner Erhard saying we are a 'clearing' in 
 which bodymind and the world show up. Influenced by Heidegger et al.
 
 Which takes us to the Kabbalist notion of 'tzimtzum' as the ein sof gets 
 lonely and contracts so that a space appears for a universe to emerge. Jewish 
 people who follow torah are rereading the first chapters of genesis this 
 week. But that's another story.

 Hi Jennifer!
 
 Thanks for referencing such a great research tool. I looked at all the books 
 listed from 1900-1981. Check this out!
 
 Nothing before '51, and over half of the 342 references were from 1951-54. 
 There was a dark age of holding space from '55-'70, with no references. And 
 of the 342, over 96% treated holding space as a noun, rather than a 
 process. They are about physical containers for stuff, livestock, or 
 prisoners.
 
 Below I list the exceptions - some of which seem to hint at the way holding 
 space as an element of facilitation, though none do so directly. The Leibniz 
 and Kant papers were interesting in that they peered into the concept of 
 space itself, holding the concept if not actual space. Very interesting is 
 that the military concept of holding space related to the Vietnam war 
 starts to come close to the facilitation sense, but the last one by Robert 
 Nozick seems to come the closest.

Re Holding the space
All great insights. AND i prefer OPENing the spaceperiod. It locates 
attention in the right place.

 In Process Work terms: disturbance is happening because a secondary or 
hidden process is demanding attention. New possibility is ready to emerge, and 
will ultimately do so via breakdown if needed.

What do you need to do? OPEN to what wants to happen: innerly, and in the 
group, and allowing the flow of life force to emerge with ease. Form will be 
guided by the Law of Two Feet (my interpretation) take responsibility for what 
you love.  And keep opening to that flow.

Infrastructure in OS

Yes! Peggy. I've observed that people always build infrastructure, tacit as 
well as formal.  

To me OS infrastructure serves flow.  Flow happens when resonance within me 
(the participant) (what i care about/love) connects with resonance within you 
and innerly with the resonating meme in the transfinite field. Hence the Law of 
Two Feet (as i interpret it) take responsibility (or follow) for what you care 
about/love. And the principles of OS remind you how to make it easy on 
yourself; while the minimal patterns require little interpretation because 
they're self evident, natural human patterns of gathering and distribution.

Love to all!  Anne

 Amen to the infrastructure you talk of Peggy.
 
 I think of an OST gathering as really just a piece of infrastructure in an
 ongoing social field (an open space if you will), and it is perfectly
 reasonable to wonder whether other infrastructures can not also (or
 alternatively) serve the ongoing space - especially facilitating
 information flows.

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 43, Issue 25

[Anne Stadler via OSList]

 want to call an OSonOS - I have named just
 two. Ways any of us can host a wonderful learning and community gathering
 such as this.
 There are always ways to decide to want to host this particular thing
 called WOSonOS in future years. There are always ways for any of us to
 support these actions, these invitations, these teams.
 
 So nothing is limiting, everything is possible, and I offer my energies
 and enthusiasm in support to say CONGRATULATIONS POLISH TEAM !!!

 Hi all,
 
 For work that I'm doing that has nothing to do with OS... because there 
 are a lot of people on this list who are multi-lingual I hope that you 
 will forgive me for asking an off topic question.
 
 For those who have a mother tongue (father tongue?) that is not 
 English  Does your language have a word that is the opposite of 
 lonely?

 My observation: authority in OS soon rests with those who show presence 
 as defined by Otto Scharmer et al. You can see this appear particularly in 
 multi day OS sessions or when you use OS as a means of organizational 
 governance as we did in Spirited Work (see my writeup in

[Anne Stadler via OSList]

 want to call an OSonOS - I have named just
 two. Ways any of us can host a wonderful learning and community gathering
 such as this.
 There are always ways to decide to want to host this particular thing
 called WOSonOS in future years. There are always ways for any of us to
 support these actions, these invitations, these teams.
 
 So nothing is limiting, everything is possible, and I offer my energies
 and enthusiasm in support to say CONGRATULATIONS POLISH TEAM !!!

 Hi all,
 
 For work that I'm doing that has nothing to do with OS... because there 
 are a lot of people on this list who are multi-lingual I hope that you 
 will forgive me for asking an off topic question.
 
 For those who have a mother tongue (father tongue?) that is not

 Hi Harold,
 
 You say:
 
 /..I struggle to translate is the concept of coercion and authority 
 from the vantage of it's all open space. Can we really be coerced? How 
 are we all already opting in to empower the authorities?/
 
 //
 
 /...Could we just be volunteering for the victim part of our stories?/
 
 //
 
 /...I have some thoughts about this, but I wonder what you would say to 
 such a challenge to the relevance of authority in OST?/
 
 
 Hmmm...interesting questions for sure.
 
 My current belief is that authorization dynamics are central to the 
 general dynamics of Open Space. And if it is Open Space all the time 
 then authorization dynamics as desribed in my essay are also there... 
 all the time.
 
 Regarding the Open Space meeting format: If we begin at the beginning; 
 that is, at the start of arranging an actual Open Space event in an 
 organization, we immediately work to identify and locate someone duly 
 authorized by the organization, to do the things the Sponsor does, and 
 say the things the Sponsor says. Someone to occupy the Sponsor role. To 
 do that, the person occupying the role must have substantial authority 
 in the organization, usually of the formal variety.
 
 Right? Put another way: if the Sponsor is lacking in authorization, can 
 they actually be effective? Larger question: Can the meeting still 
 actually work? What about the post-meeting follow-through?
 
 So here we see how /authorization shows up a the very start of any 
 contemplated Open Space event inside an organization/.
 
 
 
 One last thing: last time I checked, victims are kind of rare in Open 
 Space. Something about the subtext of the

 Hi Harold,
 
 You say:
 
 /..I struggle to translate is the concept of coercion and authority 
 from the vantage of it's all open space. Can we really be coerced? How 
 are we all already opting in to empower the authorities?/

 /...Could we just be volunteering for the victim part of our stories?/
 
 //
 
 /...I have some thoughts about this, but I wonder what you would say to 
 such a challenge to the relevance of authority in OST?/
 
 
 Hmmm...interesting questions for sure.
 
 My current belief is that authorization dynamics are central to the 
 general dynamics of Open Space. And if it is Open Space all the time 
 then authorization dynamics as desribed in my essay are also there... 
 all the time.
 
 Regarding the Open Space meeting format: If we begin at the beginning; 
 that is, at the start of arranging an actual Open Space event in an 
 organization, we immediately work to identify and locate someone duly 
 authorized by the organization, to do the things the Sponsor does, and 
 say the things the Sponsor says. Someone to occupy the Sponsor role. To 
 do that, the person occupying the role must have substantial authority 
 in the organization, usually of the formal variety.
 
 Right? Put another way: if the Sponsor is lacking in authorization, can 
 they actually be effective? Larger question: Can the meeting still 
 actually work? What about the post-meeting follow-through?
 
 So here we see how /authorization shows up a the very start of any 
 contemplated Open Space event inside an organization/.
 
 
 
 One last thing: last time I checked, victims are kind of rare in Open 
 Space. Something about the subtext of the
