Excellent…
That talking stick was a personal gift from me to the worldwide OSonOS
community, used when Laurel Doersam and I hosted the gathering here in
Vancouver in 2001. For eleven years it has circled the globe.

The Talking Stick has become sort of an "institution" in Open Space, if only
because it seems to fit with what we do and the way we do it. For those of
you who may not be familiar with it -- the talking stick is the singular
gift of the 1st Nation People of the North America. Doubt
Thanks to all fellow spaceholders for your replies.
Chris, first time I've heard that there may be no wrong way of holding the
Talking Stick.
I find the Harvest Moon OSonOS idea intriguing and would love to make a
Vancouver OSonOS.
Catherine, thank you for sharing about use of the egg
No wrong way to hold THAT talking stick.
In the cultures of the West Coast of Canada here, there is definitely a
wrong way to hold a talking stick. Protocol is very important in ceremonies
here, in fact diplomatic relations can chill markedly over the way someone
acts in the longhouse
Hi Raffi,
I understand how the talking stick may feel awkward. To me, this is a tool that
helps to bring respect and dignity to a conversation through deep listening.
And it reminds us of the spirit of OST. As you suggest, I usually leave it in
the middle of the circle and provide something
Hi Raffi, Louise, and all,
Instead of bringing my own much-loved talking stick, I've shifted to
watching for what might emerge in the group as a meaningful "talking
object", maybe like your marker, Louise. That's the best because it's
attached to the group mind.

Thanks, Gerard, for the beautiful example of what can happen when you ask
someone to bring a talking piece for the closing. The gravity of the task can
draw out true eliquence.

Dear Malay,
how wonderful to know that the talking stick is waiting in Goa.
If she/he/it has made it - I can to. That is what I plan and look forward to
since Bramstrup.
It's very encouraging to get a mail from India every now and then to stay in
touch with OSonOS.
Thank you so much for

Just wanted to tell the world that the lovely carved talking stick is now

Thank you for your suggestions - I love the idea of a stone and will use
that in the future. I have also used the branch of a gum tree and a rain

Why not use a stone? You will find one at the nearest beach or just outside the
conference location. A small stone is easy to hold in your hand and it gets
warmer and warmer when it is passed round the circle.

I often look around for something appropriate. Once I used a an old
plastic umbrella I found in a cupboard ( working with nurses in a
hospital ), another time a prop (a branch with gum leaves) used by a
group prior to the talk.
How about a shovel?

If you have not got a boomerang or set of message sticks, I suggest a globe or a

are holding the world in their hands - the hands that form the landcare symbol.

I have been using a rain stick for a stick talking stick. Its even effective in
letting people know the closing is starting. Just standing there tipping it

Hi Don,
I am not sure of the origin of the talking stick and would very much like
