Dear Ulrika,
the good news is that the top executive "likes OS". Often, when the top guy
enters the scene at the end and wants to make a speech, there is high potential
for a disconnect between what the groups worked out and what he/she wants to
say. So, it is ofen a setup for difficult times (
Dear Arthur et al,
I like to comment of your most recent note regarding congruity (congruence) of
what we say and what we do in Open Space and the applicability of this basic
truth to all transfomations, be it individual or group. Before I do so just a
short intro of myself.
My name is Uwe Weissfl

Dear Artur,
there is a wonderful book, The Diamond Cutter written, by Geshe Michael Roach
which describes a very practical path how to translate these points into action.
It enriched my life significantly.

Chris,
there is something in your quote "THE DANCE OF CONTENT AND RESONANCE" that
resonates strongly with me. It is the insight that when we speak with integrity
of body and mind, we create energy around us which invites others to do the
same. If the energy fields are directed outward the possibili

thanks for creating this thread, this is a wondeful topic. But is is also very
complex, in particular regarding the questions How these thoughts and models
evolved. What helped me to find some structure of interpretation is a book that

Susan,
I can fully support Harrison's suggestion to focus on results in the corpoarte
setting. It is my experience (and most of my Open Space events happened in the
corporate environment) that this list will help significantly.

Dear Peggy,
your observation points to the core of our challenge. I like to comment in
particular to the following part of it:

this is true.
It is self-fulfilling because those not at the top have either consciously

Harrison,
I full heartedly agree with your point that "when leaderships rests only with a
selected few, the dance eventually stops". This observations might allow us to
add yet another facet to the leadship/followership conversation - the facet of
scarcety, greed, power and the likes. Actually we

Dear Harrison,
what a wonderful way to connect and be in the world. I loved your note - I have
a feel you will probably never really retire.
I saw that that you will be in Germany in November, where and when is this
happening? I would love the opportunity to connect again.
All the best

Dear OS friens,
I have just been approached by Allegra Magazin in Hamburg, Germany regarding an
interview about Open Space. They are looking for a woman, preferrably 20 - 35
years old, who has OS experience, comes from Germany (or the german speaking
Central-Europe), and is willing to be interviewe

Dear OS friends,
what a challenging topic. There were a lot of things I wanted to write, but -
then I let go of it. Only one little comment (I picked it up in one of Alan
Watts recordings) - when we realize that live is "so of itself" we might have a
chance to see the pain in grasping. There was a

Dear William,
thanks for bringing Peter Bloch into this conversation, I, too, have learned
much from his work. In his book Stewardship (and also in an interview he had
with Michael Toms) he points to the differences of "leadership" and
"stewardship". My take on this subject is, that leadership (eve
To all,
this is a great conversation. Thank you. One more thought on "truth", I
personally learned a lot from the 8-fold path in Buddhism. The first step is
sometimes called "right view". I intepret this in the sense of clear intention
and the struggle to authentic interpretation.

Dear friends of the list,
with disbelief and still numbed I look back at the last 24 hours. More than once
tears came out of my eyes. The thought of this horrifying act is nearly
unbearable. We lived for such a long time in th US, surrounded by people who had

Dear Peggy, dear list,
when I read your note I remembered the following remark from my coaching
education: "We become and are what we pay attention to". It seems to me that
