Hello Jasmine and welcome to OSLIST!!
I still remember my first experience (as receiver/participant) in an OS
meeting. It was in October 2000 with Peace Corps in Bolivia. When gathered
in a circle, with the talking stick I praised OS, the group and above all of
them, our wonderful facilitator Cor

I just joined the list serve this evening after a long day of researching
and reading about Open Space. It is reassuring to see that their are real

The only tip I can think of is to concentrate your attention on what you are
doing while you open space. It will help you letting go of fear, and naturally

it" the group will help them find their way,
How about this?
Could we do, if we had put our energies into it, a similar size and
popular OS event in some big city, would that be revolutionary,
evolutionary and worth the effort?
Playfully,
filiz

Joanna,
I've done 3 two hour sessions with MBA students (Different group each time)
in the past 6 months. They ALL "Got it" :-)
They especially got it when the issue was burning and the space open.
And I'm ALWAYS terrified the night before . . . But opening the space next
day seems to calm me.
Joanna--
My music teacher used to tell me that the terror I felt before a performance
was just energy that did not yet have a place to flow.
In my experience, most OS participants "get it" right away, and are only too
happy to self-organize. Sometimes, a few may not, but there are plenty of
They'll get it. No matter how much you meditate or don't, they'll get

to do so. Be yourse

the masses ask you and not the other way around? Can you not ask

Hello Harrison, Michael, Funda, Nancy, and Everyone,
