HI CHRIS I HAVE COMBINED A DIALOGUE SESSION / CAFE SEMINAR FORMAT WITH OPEN SPACE IN A 2 DAY MEETING WITH 100 PEOPLE - SOME TIME BACK. MY THINKING WAS THAT THE IDEAS FOR ACTION AND FINDING GOOD NEW SOLUTIONS WOULD COME FROM A MORE MEANINGFUL PLACE IN THE GROUP IF DIALOGUE HAD OPENED THE LEARNING

Interesting responses... I have in fact only just stumbled upon Bohm's work and came to it quite circuitously. Lately I've been reading a lot of books about physics -- The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Paul Davies's works, Fritjof Capra's stuff. This was just out of interest, but like everything, I foun

Hi, Just been struck by a notion... I wonder, when we humans talk about being appreciative in our inquiries, having true dialogue, and opening space for spirit, do we include only human beings, or do these apply to other species as well? And if we answer "yes," then, beyond our intentions, what'
