Re: [OSList] Renewing the Mission of the Open Space Institute U.S.

Hey Harold, I have been playing with an approach for something else that might work here as well. The MISSION should simply be a blank circle with a small comment in the middle that says "Add your question/statement here." Around the blank mission circle should be about 8 eight questions that

Hi I will add that it takes a life time for some to unlearn what consultants mostly do - intervene, stand on the ”scene” i.e to unlearn that you as a facilitator is not the most important people in the room. That you have made a great job when the participants say ” wow” we did this

Hi Harold, You offered such a wonderful example of a 'given' that was not initially expressed and then came in with it later---something that can reduce or close a space when that happens. You opened space for inputs for the purpose of helping the Mission of the OS Institute US. By our nature and
