Hello all, I've been catching up on reading these postings after spending
this week opening space with two different groups, two very different
experiences.
A personal story comes to mind when reading your generous and insightful
messages. My son has opened space in his life to complete a Canada
Hi Bernd,
Wow - thank you for sharing such deep inquiry. During one OST I
facilitated, many among the participants could not read and write. We chose
to have people speak their topic and line up along the side of the group.
Once all the topics were "posted or peopled", those standing in line spo

Hi Joan,
When I facilitate and Open Space Technology meeting with deaf participants,
I begin sitting in a chair in the circle and explain that the process works
with me walking around. If this is a challenge for anyone I ask them to

Hi Kerry -- thank you for sharing such a deep message. In facilitating the
Open Space Technology meeting in Alaska, I was faced with one of those
situations where a participant asked me a question and I chose to find a way
to support him without closing the space. A 17 year old -- Derek -- came t

Peggy and all -- my experience is similar. I observe the energy of the

Hi Susan --
My idea is the same -- how big is the stage? I once moved a group from the
auditorium up onto the stage in concentric circles -- we used the auditorium

Dear Doug,
Great tips from Michael and Julie. In large, short, events, we have posted
reports on the wall, posted large sheets of paper for a contact list, and
large sheets of paper for personal commitments, and even large sheets of
paper for specific recommendations and partnerships. Perhaps if
Lisa --
A truly remarkable invitation -- thank you for sharing with us. There are few
who could say no to this invitation, and the eloquent way you have set out Open
Space Technology as being used in peacemaking.
Thank you for a brilliant start to Monday morning!

Interesting question SoCal Ed!!
I find making simple signs on site meditative, grounding me in following
what has heart and meaning, and being present in the moment. Occasionally a

wonderful conversation.
Doug brings up the concept of teacher. In OST I do not think of myself
as a teacher. In teaching there is lecturing, waiting for the teachable
moment, putting something out there and waiting for discovery learning.
Even in teaching using OST, I would provide articl
One of the questions I ask myself in this type of spaceholding is-
Whose needs am I serving? It always helps me with the decision of

As an OST facilitator, if I truly believe the expertise is in the room, then it
is simple to only give input to matters of holding space...

Hello GraceAnn, Julie and others
I've just returned home from an Elder's Gathering in Vermont and found the
emails on OS in the classroom.
GraceAnn, I've used OST for entire classes with high school and College
