Mark,
“THE dictionary”? As if there is one truth that supersedes all others? Not very Open Space-like imho. It hurts me to see a quote being called ridiculous, especially if that quote has been said with an ideal, a true passion in mind. So I went looking for the meaning behind that quote and I found a few possible meanings that made good sense to me. When the ridiculing is topped off by saying the person should not be here, it hurts me even more. This feels like bullying and that, my friend, has no place here as far as I am concerned. Let us treat each other with respect. Respect in my definition meaning: * Not calling each other ridiculous (or any other ugly name for that matter) * Welcoming everyone that wants to be here.

Operational definitions are KEY in human understanding. The definition of success I provided is in the dictionary. Thanks for your feedback.

If you define success as earning a lot of money and using that money to deplete a large part of the earth’s resources, then I can agree with the statement that we don’t need that. If you define success as having a large surviving offspring (and thus spreading your genes in larger numbers than others, the Darwinian definition of success) then I can agree with the statement that we don’t need that because there are already too many of us on this planet. If you define success as realizing your dreams and if your dreams are about a sustainable lifestyle for all, then I think we do need that. So it is all a matter of definitions.

What IS Open Space Technology if not to inspire participants into action to pursue their passion to accomplish their aims? Their purpose? To become successful in their life? The notion that we should stamp out successful people is idiotic given the sheer numbers - billions of people living without food, water, health care, safety, etc. There is a dangerous trend now disparaging success. Anyone who buys into this idea to stifle success are part of the problem and should not be an OST Facilitator....in my humble opinion. "We need more successful people, not less." - Mark Carmel On Wed, Dec 4, 2019, 2:30 PM <oslist-requ...@lists.openspacetech.org <mailto:oslist-requ...@lists.openspacetech.org> > wrote: Send OSList mailing list submissions to oslist@lists.openspacetech.org <mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to oslist-requ...@lists.openspacetech.org <mailto:oslist-requ...@lists.openspacetech.org> You can reach the person managing the list at oslist-ow...@lists.openspacetech.org <mailto:oslist-ow...@lists.openspacetech.org> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of OSList digest..."

This may be a teeny tiny bit off topic, but I will try to make it relevant! I am looking for your reflections, insights, advice, referrals, etc. in respect to work that I am doing and looking to expand/deepen. Some of you may know that I have a strong interest in movement/dance/embodiment, particularly in application to personal growth, healing/transformation, "mindfulness", and the connections & growth possible within groups and systems through body wisdom, embodiment practice, and collective movement. The awareness and acceptance of the value of the body as both a source of wisdom and an important modality for emotional processing, healing trauma, creative expression, group connection, seems to be growing in a number of arenas, applications, and communities. I am currently exploring potential areas for expanding my learning and my practice and gathering information and insights, as well as exploring within, so that I can choose where to focus my energies. My questions to this community are: Do you see potential application for movement/somatics work within any of the communities or organizations where you work? If so, can you identify where/how you can imagine the integration of body and movement into the work that you do or the life/workflow of the people with whom you work? I welcome any and all insights and reflections and referrals! I see this work, the way that I approach it, as truly an invitation to open space within oneself and within communities through exploration of body and movement in a way that is liberated from form, function, expectation, or expertise. I hope that makes sense! I welcome all questions as well! Thank you in advance! <3 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Your query dovetails nicely with something that came up in passing at WOSonOS, that we (at that event) tended to view ?Proceedings? verbal/written. We had one session captured through Graphic Recording. We observed that gently offering alternative means of expression in Open Space might be useful, such as having resources in the circle?s center to lying about; such as huge boxes of LEGO?, drawing and painting and crafting materials, musical instruments. Perhaps an implicit invitation to movement, dance, and videoing could be incorporated. For myself, I incorporate movement a lot in workshops. I overuse Constellations, moving to a place to express an opinion or an opinion on a range or scale. I?ve begun to leverage LiberatingStructures.com and similar to inject movement, such as between tables. Many have observed to me that people express things with movement or LEGO? that they?d never express verbally, though having done so, they often find the courage to verbally explain their movement or other creation. I encourage you in this exploration; it can only help us all!

You both provided very useful information and insights! Christine, what you are saying is confirming my impulse and perhaps true desire, which is to incorporate movement and somatics with other elements and modalities. I have considered going back to train as a therapist or do trauma-informed work, however, I believe I am more called to continue developing organization coaching and group/systems work and I think many of these embodiment and movement practices can fit quite nicely with other elements that may be more dialogic. And Yes Marc! Thank you for sharing your practices and reflections! Honestly I am all about all of the expressive arts and both personally and in my work and in my community. I regularly observe both the reticence and challenge some people have in stepping in, as well as the liberation and varied sort of expression and connection that can result! This is all very helpful:) On Wed, Dec 4, 2019 at 11:45 AM Marc C.
