Hi Zelle,
I too would like to hear more about these 3-hour Open Spaces following
presentations or keynote speeches. It sounds like a great way to get
more community feedback when decisions need to be made.
Best regards from Saturna Island BC, Canada.

Hi Doug,
Proximity: very elegant!
Maureen and I have been offering and delivering Open Space after
keynote
speeches, after presentations in corporate meetings, after
political speeches -
anywhere we can open up space and allow everyone to be the expert or
at least
ask questions about what was a spark for them. It works incredibly
well.
Generally, we hold a 3 hour Open Space after keynote speeches. In
terms of
presentations in corporate meetings, there will sometimes be multiple
presentations in the mornings and then hold Open Space in the
afternoons.
We've had fantastic results!
with grace and love,
Zelle

Hi all--
Chris's Tao of Holding Space stopped me in my mental tracks last night
with one word: proximity.
What we are about in opening space is bringing people into proximity,
yes?
Proximity: notice what can happen when we bring people who care near
each other. Ideas bounce and blend and reproduce. Passions infuse.
Keep
us in tightly sealed containers and nothing new happens. Juxtapose us
and there is possibility. For fire.
Which raises for me the question of why do people try to keep others
in
tightly sealed containers, such as "do me" audiences who are not
allowed
to talk back, let alone with each other? Is it lack of experience with
any container where people can let their lights shine on each other?
Is
it fear of the fire? Something else?
Ever notice that after a play or a good seminar, when we go home we
want
to talk about it? We want to assimilate it, re-enjoy, extend it. What
if
we could harness that energy at the event itself? Get the people there
to assimilate, re-enjoy and especially extend it, starting right
there?
What if?
Is this what OS is?
