Dear friends
Just sending a reminder about our 4th annual gathering in Scandinavia. The
meeting is meant for "Open Spacers" who wish to develop their work with OST.
And expand their network with fellows in Scandinavia. During the life of
ScandOSonOS's there have been participants from non-Scandinav
Dear Judi
Would you please be so kind to suggest a few places to stay in
Halifax that are within walking distance of the venue? Many thanks.
Cheers

Hi
I don't know what all this trust business is about. If trust is an
issue, I feel it's more a matter of participants trusting each other
to declare and share their passion and accept responsibility for
doing something about it.
It's easy for facilitators, because they KNOW the process works.
What does it do to me when someone trusts me?
Into what kind of a relationship am I entered into?
Seems to me that I dimly but very overwhelmingly experience every now
and then and especially in os-t situations the forces of
selforganisation.
Whether I trust them or not they do manifest themselves

I apologize, Harrison, if my comment sounded like a criticism of
Wilber. It was not intended to be. As I stated, since Wilber and
Spiral Dynamics were referenced in the same breath in a discussion

Great thread everyone!
So - from all your comments - I am wondering...
Is it advisable to sell 'trusting the process of the people' more than the
process of OST - if we are 'selling' anything?
Take good care of yourselves and each other,

Hi all-
I did Open Space with a utility in St. Louis this week. I definitely can
attest that what was required and what happened had to do with trusting the
people. We had field and call center and managers and supervisors in the 100+
people there. All could justifiably pointed fingers. I trus
Hello all
I don't know if this is the norm on this list, but I thought I might
briefly introduce myself and detail my interest in open space.
I have Alan Stewart to thank for getting me interested in this list.
His posts of a thread on open source to my personal mailbox piqued my
curiousity.

Just a small response to Larry's passing comment about "Ken Wilber and
Spiral Dynamics". Ken Wilber did not develop the Spiral Dynamics (SD)
model and his use of Spiral Dynamics has revealed a bit of a schism in
SD circles. Since the topic is 'research', I just felt a mile need to
clarify that Ke

Hi,
I think trusting the principles includes trusting the people and trusting
the people leads us to behave according to the principles.
This may be a question of the chicken and the egg. It may not really matter
which comes first as long as they are understood.
I was explaining OST in an OD mee
Harrison, full alignment here. Would it be equally accurate to say that in OS,
we are trusting both the principles and the people? I ask simply from the
observation, working with facilitators over the years, that for some, the lack
of (what I would call appreciative) principles lead to more emph
Several evenings ago I was invited to participate in a group considering
"Strategic Planning in a Self-Organizing world." The topic really interested
