Jennifer:
I think your visioning meditation exercise is a great idea. You may want to
think about whether you put it before the explanation about how OS works or
after (my choice would be after) as you may want them to hold that vision firmly
in their mind as they raise their topics.

I've learnt a lot about facilitation from watching stand up comedians
performing live. For people in the UK, Gerry Thompson runs comedy workshops
for consultants and people in organisations - see www.positivecomedy.com.
He's also written some great books that gently poke fun at the alternative

Jennifer-- When it seems appropriate, I sometimes combine Open Space
with Appreciative Inquiry (AI). AI has a visioning activity called
"provocative propositions" that produces creative future statements
that become topics in the open space. I'd be happy to say more off

Hi folks: Here is some information to pass on. It is the "intro"
workshop that we've pursued for the past years, with the current updates

eighteen good souls in all who had invited me to facilitate a day to review
the way they met together during the past 12 months and seek to agree on
some principals and protoco

Folks - Up for a little radical Democracy???
For years I have been hopeful that the politics of the elite and
powerful might give way to a deeper power - that of the civil
conversation. Radical Democracy, in a word. Doubtless we will never get
rid of the power of the elite, but if we could shift t

A visioning to open space? My gut reaction was "No, it wouldn't be Open
Space."
What comes to mind first is a question...You say you've been lurking.

Oh, yeah! I've been toying for a while with the idea of "the open space
political party". The idea alone sounds kinda interesting, huh?
