Re: a question

Raffi-- People do and will present lectures and trainings in Open Space, and some of these sessions will be effective. If this is the intention, might be good to say so. But I suspect that the elaborate boundary-setting that you suggested might rub people against the grain a bit, once they hav

Re: Is there a need to hold space for people to ask the question, "what'

My take on this is that during the process of evolution, the evolving entity is unaware of it but may become aware of past evolution upon reflection. The only exception to this would be when there is a "revolutionary" change (or sudden, dramatic mutation) and in this case it is obvious to the whole

storytelling/training/learning sessions in OST

Joelle, Raffi, My wife, Maureen and I facilitated an Open Space where we used special post-its (tree and flower shaped) to indicate that certain sessions would be in a story-telling or training format with one primary speaker. We explained in the invitation and the opening circle that sometimes w

AW: storytelling in OST

storytelling can be a very interactive element in OS. Recently in Oberursel I proposed a group session about story telling and fairy tale drawing. It went like this: I opened the session proposing my idea, and when it was accepted, everybody sat down to invent a short storyline. The storyline

Re: AW: storytelling in OST

Reinhard-- What fun! And what a great way to bring everyone into the activity, bringing everyone past the feeling that he or she is "not really creative." A favorite game with my granddaughter is to sit down and draw while she tells me what to draw and spins a story about the growing picture.
