Opening the circle 2.
Like any good host, I do not give them instructions until after I’ve
welcomed them. When I’ve returned to where I  started walking, I  stand
still & tell them the things they need to pay attention to: Law of 2Feet, 4
Principles; move & follow what you really care about; where things are
located; how to offer their gifts, questions, opportunities.

Re: [OSList] doubt about how to begin OS

2021-07-10 Thread Michael Herman via OSList

Here's another way to think about it, Arantxa... Imagine for a moment that
you have this large or small crowd gathered and they've all politely seated
themselves in some sort of circle.  Your question is where to go, how to
act, how to relate to them...  So I ask you, what would you do if you knew
that there was lots of ice cream and treats to sprinkle and drizzle on top
of it, all set up and ready in the middle of the circle?  Would you smile?
Would they smile back?  Would you enjoy telling them about the various
options and possibilities that had been arranged?  Would you enjoy holding
them, locked in their seats, for just an extra few minutes, heightening the
anticipation, maybe digressing a little bit on a tangent about
the history of sundaes, or teasing the list of ingredients?  And when you
were done explaining, ready to let them run for the bowls, where would you
be?  Probably at the center, pointing to it, welcoming them to come.  And
then where do you go?  Out of the way!  While it's true that some healthy
eaters might not get too excited about this ice cream business, they'll
likely perk up when they notice the fruit and nut toppings.  By and by,
most everyone will discover something delicious in the center of your
circle.  So your job is to walk into that crowd knowing that something cool
is coming up soon.  Have fun giving it away!

Opening the circle:
Remember you are welcoming them, and assuring them they each have a gift
that the whole circle needs, or else they wouldn’t be there. That is why
you walk the circle, clockwise to form the collective organism, looking at
each person you pass— not across the circle but on your left hand side— as
you welcome them, appreciate them, & assure them they each matter.  It
really is as simple as that. Good luck & blessings. You’ll do great!!

Yes. I walk the circle. I greet people, look at them, talk about their
invitation and encourage them that this is the time they have wanted to
talk about thi BC s important to them. Then I very simply explain the
instructions and invite them to make their agenda. And then I walk out and
let them get to work.

Trust the people. If the issue is important for them they will make the
conversations they need to have.

[OSList] doubt about how to begin OS

2021-07-10 Thread arantxa hergueta bravo via OSList

Hi to you all!

May name is Arantxa. I´m new here, and I´m new in Open Space too. In a few
days I will facilitate my first OS and to do so I´ve been doing some
reading and talking with a friend, who knows very well the whole process.

I´ve got a bunch of doubts, but want to share one specially with you. If
someone wants to share her/his experience or ideas It´ll be terrific. I´ll
try to explain it. It´s been years that I don´t write in English,
so…lets´see!

My friend has told me, once the “event” promoter has made a presentation,
he comes from outside the participants circle, invites everybody to
breathe, look each other and so, and, then, he comes into the circle and
walks inside it (walks the circle) looking to each of the participants in
order to greet them. My questions: How do you do it? How do you begin? Do
you “walk the circle”? Why? How does it make you feel?

And that´s all for now.

Thank you very much!!!

And have a beautiful day!
