'trickle-down' effect - seems to have a built-in
Hi Nataly et al

Interesting question you raise. I certainly don't have a clear answer,
but just a few thoughts.
At San Francisco this year someone convened a very interesting
conversation about what happens when communities "self organise
themselves into dictatorships"...or words to that effect. I didn't
Hi, all of you interested in os in schools,
since 1997, I have been involved with 32 open space events in education,
20 of them in schools (after-school-day care, elementary school, all
varieties of the various highschools in the German system, special
schools)and, as everyone seems to be repor
These days everything ( words, works, feelings, relationships, lives etc)
became a subject for consumption under the so called "free market ideal". It
seems that this "ideal"
didn't bring social and economic justice and equality to our world. It even

One of the principles used to describe the why and the how of OST is self
organizing systems. This is, in my opinion, the core of why OST works.

Hello Pat.
I've been trying to stay out of this conversation, but now I feel the need
to wade in with my size 7½ boots. (That's small as UK sizes go - no

Thanks for wondering aloud, Martin. a brief thought.
I think that a free market is theoretically aligned with Open Space, but a

Dear Eddie, Harrison, Michael, Gerard and Michael!
Thank you so much for your support and resourceful letters!
I will look at the archives and might ask more specific questions when I get to

Hi JackI guess my comment reveals my worldview that everything in creation
is intelligent and conscious. For me consciousness is about being aware of
self and other selves and developing a protocol for possibilities for that
interaction. It is an interest or openness, an awareness of what is

with oranges. To my mind "Capitalism" is one (among many) hypothetical,

Michael said: I love Harrison Owen's observation that "Whereever space is
opened, peace breaks out" AND in parallel with that it seems to me possible
that Open Space could be used for people to self organise to evil ends as
