Thanks Adriana! It could be a wonderful cultural protocol if everyone agrees to it. If everyone has been invited and accepts such a protocol. Asking for a moment of silence can often calm things down when they're getting too heated, and I've been in a number of circles where such a protocol ha

Re: [OSList] Human Connection Starvation

yes yes yes! As Daniel mentioned, the facilitation I lead was almost completely unprepared because of a dearth of contact and returned communications from the client. No proper "pre-work". No theme. No extended period of invitation. People regularly dashing off to other "more important" thing

[OSList] Change of OSList moderation policy

Dear OSList Members, If you (or anyone) sends an email to the OSList from an email address that is not subscribed, I never review it (despite what the old message implied). That email just sits in a queue along with many many other emails selling wierd stuff, and making various propositions, a

[OSList] Trainings and workshops on and about Open Space

Dear Open Space List, The Open Space Institute has a need to share resources, trainings, and workshops in our efforts to hold space for open space. We'll definitely be sharing the upcoming trainings Lisa Heft will be offering - including the one before the World Open Space on Open Space. I f

Re: [OSList] Open Space- A little too open for "Agile enablement" firms?

Yes! I first learned about the light bulb conspiracy from Paul Wheaton (a renowned Permaculture promoter) at an Open Space event, the one I organize in Montana, Missoula Barcamp 2013. Highly recommend this 2010 documentary about it - "The Light Bulb Conspiracy: The Untold Story of Planned Obso

Re: [OSList] Campus Europae Higher Education Open Space

Hi Artur, Thanks for asking the Open Space Institute - U.S. to take some action. Be it a YouTube channel or something else. The watering down of the true essence of Open Space, and then slapping "Open Space" on it, confuses everyone about what we've been *successfully* accomplishing for 30 y

Re: [OSList] Future Search - Open Space - Genuine Contact

Hi Anna, Thanks so much for this posting, and I'm happy to rejoice with you. I hope you can share more of your learning about how it went when you've finished. I'm especially curious to learn more of your thinking about integration. This seems so very relevant at this time, and I'm eager to

Re: [OSList] Inviting non-invitation

Thanks, Harrison! Your insight about invitation (how forced "invites" don't work in the long run) seems the same paradigm shift you have been teaching us for years - as you wrote about in your beautiful post yesterday: all systems are open and self-organizing. It reminds me, and seems in the s

Hi Lucas, thanks for adding some of your thinking here. I was intrigued by something you said at the Qiqochat supported online Open Space experience we had on the OSHotline this past Tuesday. It seemed to relate to what started happening soon afterwards on the OSList. About "creating" or "open
