I been wondering for a few years if anyone here has ever attempted to host a moving open space. If you are booking Iceland for your open space, then perhaps it would be fun to see some sites and have discussion on the road. In my extended family we have a tradition that every 3 years we meet for a road trip. This road trip covers a short distance and is like an open space. for we drive for 5 to 15 minutes and then we stop for an hour in different locations where the power of the coffee brake takes over and people gather to talk about what needs to be talked about. This year we had 85 people in 20 jeeps driving around and mixing up the groups every time. If discussion was not done, then it would continue in the new place, the arrangement of people in jeeps was also changeable based on what we needed to talk about. Even with the possibly bad whether we can do this, as we all have nice clothing that protects us from rain, snow and wind. If it rains then we keep our papers in the jeeps. Open Space meeting in jeeps on the road has the problem of impermanence of space, as we are driving around. Any wall space would need to be virtual. We already have good place markers that we take with us, that is the jeeps them selves, as a different discussion group can form next to jeep A or B. The time slots would be the place names of the sites that we visit. Like "Jeep B at Geysir" would be a group convening next to jeep B whenever we are next at the Geysir site. The traditional site seeing in groups is usually hosted with a site guide that dumps to much information in to short of a time and hurries along so most of the people become to tiered to talk about other maters. This must be avoided, but we can still have some light and informative information of the sites by use of the comm system in the jeeps while approaching the sites. We can also tag along and enjoy the sites while conversing with our groups by giving a little more time, I would recommend to take a step out of the discussion to take in the site and revive the power of the pure nature to fuel the spiritual dimension of the discussion. In my experiences, the energies and dimensions of a group of jeep traveling have almost all the parts that can be used for a good open space practice. The only missing part would be the wall that would need to be implemented virtually with tablet or smart phone application usable with an in jeep wifi / G4 system. There are two major factors that drive me to these thoughts, one is that the nature is marvels and it is a shame to be stuck in a building when we can be traveling. And the other factor is that I like groups to come to my small country for experiencing these marvels while going on with the business that matters. Any experiences, thoughts, opportunities or comments are welcome. _______________________________________________ OSList mailing list To post send emails to OSList@lists.openspacetech.org To unsubscribe send an email to oslist-le...@lists.openspacetech.org To subscribe or manage your subscription click below: http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org
