I often look around for something appropriate. Once I used a an old
plastic umbrella I found in a cupboard ( working with nurses in a
hospital ), another time a prop (a branch with gum leaves) used by a
group prior to the talk.
How about a shovel?

Dear Friends
I have just finished what was for me a gruelling 2 day Open Space. From the
majority of the particapnt's (76 people) point of view it was a spectacular
success and they came away energised and optimistic, vowing to use OS back
home.
It was the hardest facilitation I've done in 8 year
Why not use a stone? You will find one at the nearest beach or just outside the
conference location. A small stone is easy to hold in your hand and it gets
warmer and warmer when it is passed round the circle.

Hi Ingrid and others
Thank you for your suggestions - I love the idea of a stone and will use
that in the future. I have also used the branch of a gum tree and a rain
stick. In this instance I decided on the inflatable globe as it was a good
symbol for an event that led into an International Landc

Chris & Jay: That's been my experience as well. Four years ago I led an
community wide Open Space event for 350 people through OLE--Our Local
Economy. The organization fostered CED projects in various communities. It
was largely an "alternative" organization with little participation by the

I have had that leadership and whole group challend to close the space in a
variety of ways. That part of holding the space is the most difficult and
the most important. I ask in the evening news both one word on how folks or
doing, to surface the negative if it is there, and ask what is missing.
Hi Andrew and Viv,
and thank you both for sharing your recent stories of facilitating with Open
Space Technology. I too have my "feet up" and am doing some self care,
having facilitated three Open Spaces within the last three weeks. All in

Rochelle,
I was delighted to hear that you arrived home safely, after so many
travels. I was thinking about you recently, wondering where in the world
you were, and then you turned up. I would love to know more about your
adventures. I so enjoyed the time we spent together in Chicago and North

As many of you know, the good people at TASC created for us a computer based
vote counter. Great way to prioitize and converge, and just about the only way
with really large groups where manual tabulation boggles the mind, and stickies
won't do.
BUT
It is sometimes hard to find the person at TAS
Andrew,
Just a comment on your first question of OS and other formats. First, there
is no real way to control what happens, so we have to let it be. If it
works, fine, if not the participants will send a loud message by not engaging
in it. Second, I believe there is a benefit in combining other
Dear Friends
Reponding to a discussion a while back about note taking. I use a variety
of note taking methods - many of which have been discussed. One that I did
two weeks ago worked well. The particpants wrote handwritten notes. I faxed
them to a secretarial service who typed them up and got them
