Dear Anne, intrigued myself with life force. Is it related to the selforganisation force? Greetings from Berlin mmp On 20.11.2014 22:39, Anne Stadler via OSList wrote: Is OpenSpace a Meeting? Dear Daniel et al For me, open space is a condition of life. OST has many forms: a meeting or gathering is the most common collective form.

Like you, I, too am also uncomfortable... occupying the roles of Facilitator and Participant at the same time. I coach Agile. If I am functioning as coach to the group, I always refrain from Facilitating OST, because my current belief is that I probably cannot be effective as the OST Facilitator in that spot. In any event, instead, I prefer to pay a friend to do the Facilitation, and then play in the OST game as a Participant. And so: I wonder if you might have a local friend, someone interested in your OST work, who is not currently a member of your team. I wonder if you could teach this local-friend person the basics of OST Facilitation ahead of time. I wonder if you could teach this person how to do it, in, say, 1 or 2 hours, with a little, private, mock chairs-in-a-circle walk-through, with the posters, etc. I wonder if your friend might then be willing to actually do the Facilitation of your team's OST event, in exchange for your excellent before/during/after mentoring (and the very excellent learn-by-doing opportunity.)
