Personal Reflections on WOSonOS 2010 in Berlin

Dear Open Spacers: Following the OSonOS in Berlin 2000, I sent to this list some mails about my personal reflections on that event (that may be seen in the Archives, after 22/Oct/2000), that have created some different threads of conversation, and invited some changes in the OST community, the fi

Thanks dear Juan Luis! A great pleasure meeting you and I am pretty sure I will be able to make it to Chile – when is registration starting? ;-) I will start freshening up my Spanish (no he practicado por mas o menos 20 años…) and am glad to have a goal for my effort! Maybe some of us can arrange

Karolina - no doubt about it. The circle turned inside out is powerful indeed. In the very early 90's, pretty much on a whim, I did just that and will always remember the moment. This was a gathering of The Together Foundation - a multinational with positive visions for the world. I think there wer

Karolina, As much as I love Open Space and as excited as I was to see old friends and meet new friends, I felt similar confusion and emptiness at times -- difficult to explain. By imagining the circle as you described it to us now, I feel it got created a bit through love, equality, compassion and

Hi Harrison, I agree that "wavemaking" isn't a perfect description of what is happening. On the other hand, I also think we shouldn't underestimate our impact on the waves in the pond, even as mere facilitators. As coaches (the target audience of the event I reported about), probably even more so?

Dear Karolina, Thank you for your courage. Your visualization of a shoulder-shoulder circle with each person feeling the collective power that backs them up as they move into the world, brought the energy inside the WOSonOS circle alive for me. I really resonate with your wish to have "t

That is exactly the point, Harrison. When we collect the "facts" about a lot of events, including who was the cafacilitator, who was the sponsor, in what domain, etc., we get out only what we putted in - "facts". That has is probably useful, but is not the main thing. What is mostly needed are
