Modified Open Space

[Larry Peterson]

I agree that there some underlying principles (4 + a law) that create the
conditions for real "open space" --- space that creates the conditions for
spirit connected self-organizing. I think there are some rituals that make
it more likely that the space will be deep and connected. However, rituals
are culturally dependent and may need some modification-- and dependent on
who is facilitating the open space.  -- However, the principles and law
(point to something that is deeper than an individual culture -- and work
cross culturally. They are rooted in some aboriginal understandings that are
accurate. Awareness of this, and non-attachement, help.
