Dear Kari,
when I go through the various kinds of things people can do at an
os event (design a project, have a collegiate consultation, mull
over a wicked issue, write a poem, play...) I usually also say
that participants have used breakout session time for a nap.
In one case this was picked up by a participant as an "isssue" he
invited to.
In a couple of cases there was the wish in the planning group to
actually arrange for a napping space (this happened, for instance,
at an os event I facilitated in the space of the Heilig Kreuz
Church where we had the 2010 WOSonOS...)..
Take care and a pretty tested way of taking care of yourself is to
just take a nap
I will take a nap during the soccer match on Sunday...
Cheers

This is fascinating..
The supine posture: Having the front or ventral part bent
backwards.
This as a sign of trust in others or a show of vulnerability,
much open space.
If I understand this controversial topic correctly, then apart
from
the personal benefits to my body, the nap is also a
facilitation tool
and an essential part of open space and the law of two feet as
part of
the butterfly behavior.
I sometimes say that the butterfly has some valued gifts to
give to
the Open Space, apart from the opportunity, then it gives the
feeling
of trust to contribute from the hart and to open up and be
vulnerable,
step forward and offer your gifts. If the butterflies have been
removed, then I fear that I will be removed if I show
vulnerability.
I wonder if I should find the courage to demonstrate the nap
as part
of the facilitator opening in an urgent Open Space for a corporate
client.
In my minds eye it would go something like this:
- Sponsor opening speech:
Welcome, we have invited you here to <insert the urgent
theme>. And
now I give the stage to our facilitator.
- Facilitator opening speech:
<The normal introduction about the blank wall, personal
responsibility
and the principles> .. But as I welcome you all to enter the
center
and collect some writing papers, then I like to remember one
of the
roles of the facilitator. It is to foster a culture of trust
to create
a saver space for innovation. From the beginning of the Open
Space as
Technology, the nap has been one of the most trust building
tool there
is, I intent to use the most effective tools for our urgent theme
<restate theme>, and as you write our and announce your issues and
opportunities I will be here taking a nap. My assistant has a
microphone for topic announcements...
Now all I think about:
... How to be present while napping?
I will probably not do this and justify it by the imagination
that I
am needed at the wall while the topic announcements is happen.
But I
could add the nap as part of my formal practice, when I
announce the
marketplace to be open. ... This is interesting, I am adding
a thing
to Open Space, not taking a thing away. or .. I am conflicted
if a nap
is to add a thing or to remove a thing, that is I am removing
me as
facilitator without removing my presence as one. ... There are
many
questions, should I nap in the circle to the side or at the
center, or
keep to the less intrusive nap by going to the side in the
next room.
I wonder.

Hi Harrison
Ach supination!
Thank you for a new word to describe this good activity.
Me and my mate Sarah have evolved another nothern european
word for this
- we call it
schlafening
A nice cocktail of German and English but it may belong -
like supine,
supination and such to a new language for the art of
napping....
- the juice is in the pronounciation....

This discussion about napping is definitely getting out of
hand...to say
nothing of control! As one who has taken no small amount
of abuse over the
years in regard to my proclivity for supination, I am
simply delighted to
see so many closet supinators coming out. "Supination," by
the way, is a
word I made up ( I think). As you probably know, to be
"supine" is to lie
down, and that is the normal position of nappers -- hence
supination,
supinator, supinated, etc. It is a great cover word, so
you don't give away
the secret! And every arcane practice MUST have its secret
nomenclature.
I confess that I supinate primarily for one reason: It
feels good. Never
according to plan, but always in response to need and
situation. I have a
sign in my office that says, "No day is so bad that it
can't be improved
with a nap." True! I find it also helps me to pace my
energy expenditure. In
fact I find that the critical time for a good supination
is when I am over
the top busy. It restores a sense of flow, purpose and
presence. It also
reminds me that I am really not essential. The world will
turn all by itself
J
In the special situation of facilitating an Open Space,
supination has a
special value, I think. The supination of the facilitator
say in ways that
nothing else can -- that The People are in Charge. Really,
they do it all by
themselves. And the fact that nobody ever really notices
that I am absent
drives the point home. Folks, It is your thing!
So Supinate to your heart's content -- it will fix up just
about anything, I
find.

Hi friends of napping and open spaces
What an important sharing going on here....
I too find it useful and kind to my self and others to nap
at a good timing
and an appropriate place during days of work and days of
resting both -
whenever possible.
My mother was a great teacher of this very human practice
- she napped every
day of her life between 20 minutes to 1 hour - and she
lived until she was
94.
I became a practitioner early on and although I have
wavered in my
dedication during some years of getting too busy - I am
returning to the
practice and enjoyment with very good fruits
- similar to what you have all described....
We had an one our intentional and collective napping
during a Open space day
at the warrior of the heart dojo in Croatia in 2012 -
where 4 generation
napped on the lawn together
for 1 hour before we did the harvest / convergence after a
days work in the
Open space embrace....
- it brought more consciousness and ease to the harvest
of new
understanding and wiser action steps.
Cheers to the art of napping!
have a good summer with lots of napping going on
:)
kindly
Toke
Intergenerational napping practice yesterday in the Danish
woods....

Hi Artur, Harrison, Spark, Adriana and you other nappers
out there,
tell me what works for you around napping: time of day,
length, space,
light, naked, clothed... I have been experimenting (trying
a regular rhythm
or when I feel I need a nap, short such as 15 minutes and
up to an hour,
setting a timer or leave it to whenever I wake up...) and
its not really
working for me, yet!
While I hate to admit it, it annoys me when people grin or
joke about my
napping attempts.
In my os work, I have taken naps. Once I did it in a
semi-public space and
was rudely attacked by a participant: How dare you take a
nap when things
are really chaotic here! After that I chose out-of-sight
spaces.
When I take a nap while a soccer game is going on (in
Germany its serious
business and everyone is off their whatever after the game
last nite) I dont
tell anyone!!
I would not bother you but since it seems to be such an
essential activity I
thought I dare, its been an important issue for me!
Have a nap-rich day
Greetings from Berlin
