Larry Peterson and I do. We have a preference for walking the circle side by
side to bound the circle and build the energy (like a spiral). But as

No question in my mind Pat, we do not "create self-organization." It is. But

You are right Michael -- the passage was taken out of context, and since the
whole book is about High Performance in all dimensions, everything you
mention (and more) is included. The logic I have followed is something like:

OH yes "Practice" I was sorely tempted, but since that was in the title of my
last book, I thought it might be too much of a good thing. But on second

Michael -- I couldn't figure out whether to have 8 elements (in honor of the
Eightfold Way) or 7 (in honor of the 7 levels of consciousness -- Great Chain
of Being Version). So I sort of dodged the bullet and fudged a bit. Just think
of the stories/theories we could spin?

First of all thank you for this discussion. You can't have self
organization without open space and probably you can't have open space
with out self organization. But I love the rolling around of thoughts
in these regards. I love the mystery of creation that is revealed.

hi doug,
seems to me that your first question assumes halfway state. "if there
is such a thing as self-org" then leaves open the question of whether
or not there is anything else. once we notice that it is, AND is
everywhere, then the need for knowing or creating the conditions seems

When Michael Pannwitz and I did the Open Space for 2000 in Wurtzburg,
Germany -- we did everything all at once. The situation may have been a
little different as most people spoke German and some English. Also in the

Did you note that the journalist (from Montreal's largest daily) who
wrote up the event, mentioned that the opening was in both official
languages? As an anglophone from Quebec, I'm sensitive to this issue -
it's political, and
Hi all,
Yes, it was a great conference with Deb at Rococo. People there were
really impressed with OS. Hopefully, we'll gather a few people for
our FoFo in Val David this fall :-)
Deb and I learned a lot, of course, as we do every time we facilitate
OS. One of the questions we played with wa

Does anyone know about "Deliberative Dialogue"? I have a potential

Hello Michael
I think you might find Huberto Maturana interesting to read. He is a
biologist and his work looks at these 2 states of reality from a
biological viewpoint. His theories also include description of self

knowledge i
