Hi Doug,
And hi all, yes I have been sort of quiet lately but I am still around!
I never do a formal closing if there is another Open Space day coming - I prefer
to leave the Space open overnight. I only do a closing when the conference is
really over.
I usually let the talking stick or micropho
Dear Lise (and everyone around the globe on this list)!
I do not have the pleasure of knowing you in person, but your idea touched
me and inspired me.
So, Bulgaria joins in the European dream day next year! :)
Many greetings to everyone from automnly sunny Sofia,

Dear Lise, dear all in the list,
I like very much, that you and your colleagues try to find a healthy
financial basis from the start on. GOOD LUCK! If you apply also for an
OpenSpace-Online event, please think about two kinds of costs. One part is
your work and your time as an organizer (e.g. invi
Yesterday Sheila told us in the opening that at evening news, we would
decide together if we wished to have her close the space after day one and
have Doug re-open in the morning, or if we'd like to leave the space open
and simply have Doug close it at the end. Then during evening news she again

Hello, all -
Doug asked for ideas for a different closing.
I, too, like Koos (hi, Koos!) do not close any evening if it is not the
final closing of the event. Intentionally, I keep the space open for
'percolating' ideas overnight. I think it's great that you dreamt about
it overnight, Ted !

Lisa--
Thanks for the wonderful idea. I like it.
As to closing the first night, it was what the group had already decided to
do, and the space was already "closed"
when I posted, so there was not much choice. My choice probably would have
been the same as yours.
Thanks, Lisa!
Koos--
Great to see you posting here again.
I love the idea of handing out vacuum cleaners! I will go check with the
front desk and see if they have some extras!
;)
Thanks, Koos!

Sounds wonderful – wish I could be there. Opening space for a creative crowd
is always a treat. I recall one such event for the Arts Councils of the USA
which turned into a three day dance/sing/paint/drum festival. They also got
a lot of work done. Just a suggestion not to forget who you are – or i
Hi Doug,
I am in Houston. I was recently contacted by a group that is planning the
Houston Social Forum to take place in the Spring or Summer of 2006. They
are seriously considering using the OST format. The person that invited me
had been to a very tiny meeting in which OST was partially used.
Hi
A closing I sometimes use is another cooperative game I learnt. Everyone
stands in a circle and one person explains how it works. The rule is that
you copy what the person on your left is doing - once they have started to
do it. So the leader starts off with tapping one hand to the other - the
YES! Just affirming the Rainstorm exercise...I love this exercise and
have used it successfully several times to both open and close
events...very inspiring and moving...

Hello,
First of all, thanks to all of you who participate and share your ideas and
experiences so freely on the list serve. Currently, I am appreciating the
ideas on different closings. A quick question about the Rainstorm exercise.
Has anyone used it successfully with smaller groups, say 20 - 30
Doug--
When an Open space has been long, or very emotional, or time is short for
other reasons (as one I facilitated in the Columbia Gorge, when mudslides
caused
by rainstorms were closing nearby roads, and we wanted to get everyone safely
home by dark), I let everyone who wishes speak in the

Yes - I have used it with groups of 12 or even less - it still works!

How lovely to 'see' some of your suggestions come alive in my mind.
Thanks to all. I love the 'Rainstorm': just imagining it rise and
fall has given me a fleeting glimpse of stillness in a circle of
people. Thanks for that.
Georganne, I have not read the exact number of how many people are

We had 12 people for OSonOSinUS. Shelia was fantastic yesterday and Doug did
a fabulous job today. I'll let Doug give the follow-up report about the
closing.
Great conference. I'll be writing it up soon.
peace,
