I am new to this list and have relocated to Melbourne, Australia but read
with interest the comments about applying OST to steeply bureaucratic
cultures.
I am a retired police commander from the South originally and can understand
the difficulties in working with these types of groups - espcially
Having just been inspired by the recent conversation about OST and the
Police, I'd share a wee story about an exciting OS event in Berkeley,
California - a long way away for an Irishman living in Australia!
Last night I had the pleasure of a beautiful Open Space dinner at the home
of Lisa Heft as
Thanks Michael, finally a site in Arabic is only half way
there! You were absolutely right about the strangeness,
it is not a matter of having Arabic fonts. I'm very surprised
as it was tested several times before sending it for uploading.

Hello OS listers.
There is a documentary film, a book-to-be, an internet presence, a

Yesterday I went to see the film "The Corporation" which recently opened in

Hi--
What is the role of silence in OST and the Open Space life?
It seems to me silence is rich, full of panoramas of colors and sounds and

ready to go!
They decided that we will arrang

At the Practice of Peace conference on Whidbey Island, each morning (and many
individual sessions) started with silence.
One colleague regularly asks for a couple of silent minutes at the beginning
of meetings, and when asking a group to discuss an important topic--this, in

How important is silence in my day? Very important. I have learned that
silence is as much as part of conversation as talking is, especially
since all the research shows that the words we speak out loud are
actually a very small part of what is communicated. I know that this is
a very important thi

There's silence, and there's SILENCE.
I usually start meetings with two kinds of silence. In Aboriginal
organizations and communities it's very common to start with a prayer,
and so we will begin with that silence, a prayer, or a calming, or a
short space of absolute internal silence in which our
