Re: [OSList] Trust

Wow, I rarely say anything on the listserve but I must react to this. The trust factor is really a big one for me in my work in Washington DC these days. From every angle, top down and bottom up and sideways, there is little trust. The pertebation of more diverse voices makes sense and a wide

Re: [OSList] [SPAM] - Re: Trust

As another who only occasionally pipes up. Carmella - I have noticed (but where?) how HO talks about meditating before an OS. Like for two hours? Do I remember that right? In any case I do think that the trust, integrity, authenticity must come from being really centered and connected to.

Re: [OSList] [SPAM] - Re: Trust

Annamarie – Meditation. It has been my experience that meditation prior to opening space, particularly in a “difficult” situation, is the only absolutely essential prework for the facilitator. All the rest can be helpful, but coming to the circle scattered, confused and anxious is a good way to

Harrison, I'd like to deepen my understanding of something you shared in this post..Could you say more about "the mere search for control being the total antithesis of trust." David On Sun, Feb 2, 2014 at 10:03 AM, Harrison Owen wrote: > Annamarie - Meditation. It has been my experience

[OSList] Remembering Fr Brain Bainbridge

Hello folks As this day, Feb 2nd, draws to a close in Western Australia, I am aware that it is four years since Fr Brian Bainbridge moved on into what he occasionally referred to as 'the eternal open space'... I have only just discovered the beautiful tribute that Andrew Rixon and Kate Kneebo

Re: [OSList] [SPAM] - Re: Trust

Chime in with my 2 cents here..   I think the most important trust factor in planning an OST convening (or any convening) is the trust between the invitor and the invitee or the trust in the sponsor who calls the gathering. Since they don't know me and I am not the one who sends out the invitati

Re: [OSList] Trust

Wow, powerful discussions again! A little story: Here in Tampa Bay we have found a little group so clear and powerful that it might help others on this subject.  It really started with Sharon Joy.  Not only do her friends trust her, but a great segment of the community trusts her.  As will most

Re: [OSList] [SPAM] - Re: Trust

David – “Could you say more about "the mere search for control being the total antithesis of trust." Sure. Nothing complicated or esoteric. If you walk into a group of people with the notion that you need to, or have to, control what is going on – that would be a pretty clear indication to me that

Yes indeed if I happened to meet up with Open Space in my life it was because of Sharon Joy Kleitsch and I have continued to journey with her ever since. Her grace, wisdom, vision and love that extends to community and globally which she gives so generously is intermingled with trust. Trust in hum

So what is it we "feel" when we feel trust? How do we know it? I suggest that its a whole constellations of variables unique to each being. To feel/know trust, such constellations converge like a whole set of experiences we've had being ourselves, within various contexts, where we come to tru

[OSList] Trust

For me, "trust" is a concept or idea or approach or what-have-you that is not part of my speak. My feeling is that it smells of dependency, evokes in me images of paternalism, hierarchy, moral categories, being chained to concepts of others that have nothing to do with me... all unlike what I h

Re: [OSList] Trust

Good Evening to All! I trust the Open Space. That process. That curiously un-obvious, plain-as-day, default liminal-thing we all do in the here-and-now, one way or the other, anyway. Call it self-org. Call it OST. Or any another name if you like. Liminality. "The 1 and the 5." Any name is OK.

Re: [OSList] Trust
