OST and Open Forums

Hi Harrison and others! Thanks for your reply on this. I haven't seen an Open Forum yet, nor try to facilitate one. But I am not sure at this point I am ready to agree that processwork is about Arny (or anyone else) working too hard. OS, for now, is just another piece of the large group transfor

OST and Open Forums

Harrison - I'm wondering if you're considering another book - The Practice of Being I think it was Gandhi or A J Muste who said 'there is no road to peace, peace is the road' So, in Open Space, we 'are peace' if we have to work too hard to get it - for others - its not very peaceful

On the openness of the word open (was: OST and Open Forums) (long)
