My experience is limited in "official" open space planning and I have "called circles" before I heard about open space. I work with non-profits, especially churches and generating Mission - purpose - reason to be - is how I begin the conversation The issues around this cannot not surface the beginnings of vision planning. As these folks are often sensitive to the formal "secular, business" process (I use Drucker for this) this is often a good way to begin. The question I ask in the invitation is Where is God calling you? (add, today, in this community) Hope this helps - I have found this forum to be a great educational process for me and want to thank all of you who contribute. Blessings,
