Phelim and Improbable, I have just a few words but I felt moved to share them with you and the rest of the community. Although I am relatively new to Open Space - certainly it's purer form - I have been facilitating other techniques for a very long time (not that it matters!) and I wanted to ta

Phelim, First of all my profound and deep thanks. It was very hard to make it to London but my experience was one of magic, lots of love, camaraderie, inspiration, and seeing things come true that I had only hoped would come to pass. My experiences there were worth many times the dollars I sp

Phelim, My own ears perk up anytime someone says: > I'm sure we would do things differently if we ever did it again Have you and your team done a brainstorm on this? Others (like perhaps future hosts) would likely benefit from your experience I'll guess, and its a nice closing exercise with a

Chris I agree with you. I'm fine with the critique. Different strokes for different folks. I think the difficulty is what you pinpoint. It's hard to reply and have a constructive conversation when it's not directly addressed to myself and the hosting team and seems like a veiled passive aggre

The critique in the article is fine. And the subsequent link Phelim sent along is fine too. Paul's tone is a bit jarring and his argument isn't helped by making a lot of generalized statements. Also he critiques WOSonOS in a way that makes it hard to separate his critique if the event from a cri
