My rule of thumb is that smaller groups, say under 25, plan for half of people to post a session. In the middle, say 25-200, plan on 1/3 of people posting sessions and over that, about 20% will post sessions. I recall a spreadsheet on how to determine room size and how many concentric circles

Great story Harrison! It is reminiscent of an similar experiment that Anne Stadler included in the lovely collection she curated for a Berrett-Koehler Newsletter called At Work years ago. After a little digging around, while I didn’t find the whole collection, I did locate the story from two

I’ll add another strategic planning story to the mix. In the 1999, I did a project with the Washington State Arts Commission to create a strategic plan that was widely embraced by artists and arts organizations all over the state. The commission’s continued funding was riding on success. We

Whether one chooses to stay or go, the law of two feet expresses the profound act of taking responsibility for what you love. To me, the invitation to attend to what matters to you by using the law is the essence of Open Space. Everything else flows from it. Peggy Holman 206-948-0432 Sent

Yes, it was the year of Harrison’s 70th birthday. I remember the dancing! The closing circle keeps coming back to me. We had invitations to go to two places in 2006. We used Bohm dialogue to discern where to go. I remember we used a talking piece among the 50-60 people. I recall setting it up
