It was a real moment of magic. Spirit touched soul.
Every time I read one of the stories sent to the list it reinforces my idea of the power of OST. Indeed, it was mainly the stories, and the level of help between all the members of the list, that made me aproach OS and go to Berlin. But I think that each new story has something marvellous. And that the tales have a magic of their own, and are the most important part of a virtuous reinforcing loop between OST pratictioners. Thanks, David, and all of you that share your stories.
After the event was over, several people indicated that they are planning to open space on some very specific issues that grew out of the discussion.
I would expect this "effect" to be a common one - after an OS session, as the method is "easy" to understand and implement, I would expect that participants would normally offer to open space by their own, to surface follow on questions or even different problems. This could create a growing community of citizens-facilitators intead of a countinuing dependence on expert-facilitators. From the experience of you all, does this happens very often? If not, do you have any idea about why not?
