when a client hires Open Space Technology, is this what she gets?

[Peggy Holman]

>From Birgitt:

I also wonder if there couldn't be something that when a client hires Open
Space Technology, that this is actually what he/she gets. I don't see the
solution to this coming from linear thinking and tried and true but
ineffective means such as certification. What I was grasping for came out of
what I think of as a tradition of a medicine man or medicine woman mentoring
someone to learn their art and then taking them through an initiation/ritual
to show the sacredness of the honor and privilege and responsibility now
bestowed. OST, well done, is sacred work.


Birgitt -- I think you're on to something -- how can we establish competence
without resorting to something insipid like certification?

I've recently been exposed to several mystical traditions. I notice masters
refer to their teachers as a way of setting context for what they offer.  I
can see some merit in this form.  Over time, lineage grows via who we look
to as our guides.
