Re: [OSList] Opening space when borders are closing

[Suzanne Daigle via OSList]

Judith I am smiling as I immediately went to Open Space Technology Facebook
to share it there, then wrote a private note to Harrison saying I'd done so
explaining that I preferred asking for  forgiveness rather than permission.
Of course I knew that anything he posts we can share...

It's what he asks of us also to share our learning and ourselves. Which we
do.

Such comfort and inspiration this community brings!

Re: [OSList] Opening space when borders are closing

[christine koehler via OSList]

For those who read French, here

is
a wonderful exemple of what happens when you open space.
It is the story of a university teacher in Lyon, saturday morning, supposed
to do a 3,5 hour course about body, sex and cultures, who started talking
about not being sure to be able to teach, about Paris, about having dinner
together, about listening to music and of the wonderful dialogue that took
place with all his students, christians, muslims, boys, girls, full with
emotion and respect.
Beautiful.

[OSList] Opening space when borders are closing

[Harrison Owen via OSList]

The events in Paris have caught our attention. However, with deepest respect
and sympathy for my Parisian friends (Christine in particular), the simple
truth is that the human toll (127 and counting) is only the daily score in
many troubled spots of the world. You can name them as well as I. 

 

And Mr Holland, President of France, declaring, “This is an act of War,” and
“promising” retaliation of whatever sort  -- is quite understandable. Of
course he also (according to the American Press) closed the borders. Again
understandable, but curious especially when it appears that some
substantial portion of the combatants (enemy) are French. Somehow the enemy
is us This is not your grandfather’s war.

 

Or Something.

 

Any human being who claims to understand what is going on, and feels
competent to prescribe the  specific solution (close the borders, open the
borders, ban the immigrants, welcome the immigrants, shoot them all,
whatever) is, in my humble judgment, quite mad. 

 

I, however, will venture one affirmative (positive) statement. We (That’s
all 7 ½ Billion of us) are in a Transformative Moment. How long it will
last, and what the end result will be, I don’t have a clue. But I do believe
that it will take all 7 ½ billion of us, working together, to solve the
issues at hand. Tall order, to be sure. Then again, we have had some several
hundred thousand years’ practice. And to date – despite all odds – we’re
still here.

 

And the magic sauce?

 

I do know some things it’s (special sauce) NOT: a special program, ideology,
methodology, tool, technique, intervention, practice, discipline...

 

It is something that has been around a lot longer, much more basic and
fundamental.

 

You guessed it. Self Organization.

 

We did not invent it. Certainly didn’t create it. But we can help, I do
believe. 

 

Open Space wherever, whenever, however, with whom-so-ever as often as you
can. If nothing else, it will give you something to do during this
Transformative Moment.

 

Harrison

 Subject: [OSList] Opening space when borders are closing
   
The events in Paris have caught our 
attention. However, with deepest respect and sympathy for my Parisian friends 
(Christine in particular), the simple truth is that the human toll (127 and 
counting) is only the daily score in many troubled spots of the world. You can 
name them as well as I.   And Mr Holland, President of France, declaring, “This 
is an act of War,” and “promising” retaliation of whatever sort  -- is quite 
understandable. Of course he also (according to the American Press) closed the 
borders. Again understandable, but curious especially when it appears that 
some substantial portion of the combatants (enemy) are French. Somehow the 
enemy is us This is not your grandfather’s war.  Or Something.  Any human 
being who claims to understand what is going on, and feels competent to 
prescribe the  specific solution (close the borders, open the borders, ban the 
immigrants, welcome the immigrants, shoot them all, whatever) is, in my humble 
judgment, quite mad.   I, however, will venture one affirmative (positive) 
statement. We (That’s all 7 ½ Billion of us) are in a Transformative Moment. 
How long it will last, and what the end result will be, I don’t have a clue. 
But I do believe that it will take all 7 ½ billion of us, working together, to 
solve the issues at hand. Tall order, to be sure. Then again, we have had some 
several hundred thousand years’ practice. And to date – despite all odds – 
we’re still here.  And the magic sauce?  I do know some things it’s (special 
sauce) NOT: a special program, ideology, methodology, tool, technique, 
intervention, practice, discipline...  It is something that has been around 
a lot longer, much more basic and fundamental.  You guessed it. Self 
Organization.  We did not invent it. Certainly didn’t create it. But we can 
help, I do believe.   Open Space wherever, whenever, however, with whom-so-ever 
as often as you can. If nothing else, it will give you something to do during 
this Transformative Moment.  Harrison        Winter Address7808 River Falls

Thank you Harrison.

Open Space wherever, whenever, however, with whom-so-ever as often as you
can.

And that we will do, grateful beyond measure to have the gift of awareness
of opening space including the grieving process.
