Dear Gijs and others on the list I like to explore this topic theme a bit more closely. I have been learning so much for the past few years that I have been practicing the open space. I like to know your examples, your thoughts and experiences?
An introductory questions on No-Go-area's: At one time I was hosting an open space and I happened to join a group discussion on the topic witch was close to my hart and I shared some of my hopes and experiences for I was there with the passion to to that and the small group had a interesting topic. Now I feel like this is something I should not have done, that I took some space instead of holding it or others that where there to do something about the issues at hand. What are your thoughts and experiences?
