Dears: How wonderful to hear your plans to meet on Monday the 18th! Was hoping I could join too; but that’s a time when I’ll already be in an OS on Zoom.
So I’ll just report that I’ve done quite a lot of virtual OS since Covid, both using the Marketplace format and also using what I call “radical OS”: opening the space via a Welcome followed by a simple ritual or chant and/or check in. Breaking into groups depends on the numbers of folks likely to be present, and can happen co-creatively as the experience matures. In groups of twenty or under, the whole circle often morphs into a Boehmian conversation or story sharing. With larger groups the Marketplace format is essential. It’s worked best if you have a technical facilitator and a host facilitating. Improbable has done some wonderful OST gatherings using Qiqo Chat & Zoom. I’ve found Zoom very intimate, allowing deep dives usually as a result of encouraging people to share personal stories & embodied experience about the Calling question/ intention. It’s been surprising & inspiring especially in circumstances where people were strangers. AND new insights, learning & relationships (substantive & personal) have emerged. Whatever format I’ve experienced, it seems that these essentials have been significant: continual listening for openings as they arise; applying a Process-oriented-Psychology attention to facilitating emergence; keeping in mind implicitly & explicitly the whole “field.”; supporting personal story sharing & observations. Hope these reflections are useful. Love & gratitude to all! -- Anne M.
