Hello Don, and Everyone, I'm an OS apprentice and participated in the training with Birgitt in Brisbane in August. Your post about the "Space Invader" was most interesting to me and I know how powerful this can be - and not just confined to Open Space groups!
Of course, Open Space provides a marvellous framework for the paradox of control without control. So, running the scene in my head, I wonder how it would be to actually re-open the Space in effect, by walking to the centre and then around the circle, explaining in with patient repetition, that the Space is Open, that it is there to serve everyone's purpose, including the woman you describe. I can "feel" in my imaging of the scene, a great restlessness with people's minds saying "Yes!" and "No!" simultaneously. The movement of walking around the Space would change the energy I imagine, and re-establish the Open Space norms that free people to attend to their business. I will be interested too, to hear more about this from experienced facilitators. Cheers, Ros. Momentum Learning - moving with strength of purpose Speaker training, facilitation, coaching.
