Open Space -- The Credible incredible

[Jeff Aitken]

Yes Yes! Joelle thanks for this story. I remember that George Por, also a
friend of Gus, had a booklet called "transformative conferencing" which was
a collection of stories about creative ways folks have gathered, including
"Togetherbound: A Gathering of the Mad."

I think Anthony Judge, who is leaderful in the field of "knowledge
ecology," was involved -- and he has a fabulous website on transformative
conferencing.

As long as any of you may be looking, check out:

"Transformation Metaphors derived experimentally from the Chinese Book of
Changes (I Ching)
for sustainable dialogue, vision, conferencing, policy, network, community
and lifestyle" (wow)
