Peggy, this is potent. I think I have heard the phrase, taking

Hi--
Got back to my home computer just this evening. Looks like what I thought I
had sent to the list a couple days ago from an unfamiliar computer only came
to me. So here it is (perhaps again) (with a warm thank you for all of you
who have chimed in and helped with this):

Like you, Harrison, any time I find myself in a formal Dialogue
process, it seems, at least to me, like the dialogue gets hung up on
process and stultifies the conversation rather than enhancing it.
In OS, any participant is free to offer a specific process for their
topic/session: there is just

After a number of years working as a facilitator with various structured
processes, when I began facilitating Open Space, I discovered that the breakout
groups could work just fine without more-formal facilitation or structure.
For one thing, the groups tend to be smaller. People come
If you want to do Dialogue - convene a session about X and say - I want to

I'm just rereading all these good messages.

Great conversation, everybody ! (and I love all the hugging - those of

So it seems to me there are several things we are talking about here.
One is if you are the facilitator - the person holding space for the

Thanks for this Raffi, fantastic!

Hi Erich,
Dear colleagues,
I wanted to share a few pieces of fresh, emergent OST humor from
Viktor Golikov, a consultant who has been OS-apprenticing with Galina
Tsarkova and Mikhail Pronin.
There is much more where this came from. Some of his pearls just don't

Dear All,
A question for my Swedish collegues: I will facilitate a two day Open
Space in the South of Sweden in January.
Do you have any suggestions for a good location ? I expect the group
will be some 70 participants, but only about 20
rooms to stay overnight are needed.
Thanks for your hel
