conducting OST meeting for an organization that is just forming

[Harrison Owen]

I think the point is Raffi -- you can't make the story everyone's story. You can only tell your own. After that -- whatever happens is the ... So if it were me I would open the evening before with something like: "Welcome my friends. I have a dream and you are invited to help grow it -- if you choose. And the dream looks like this. . .(tell your story)." Invite anybody who cares to add, change, or tell a new story. A talking stick would help people speak and listen. When the tales are told, go to bed, and the next morning Open Space -- "What are the issues and opportunities. . ." 

Have fun!

  Dear Jeremy,

  That is impressive! I am curious, how did you motivate people to come
  to the event. Did you use storytelling pre-event?

  Harrison, I am wondering how I might frame the storytelling on the
  eve of the OST meeting. Indeed to make this not just *my* stories, but
  the stories of everyone who attends.

  Stories of creating healthy and balanced organizations?
  Of creating one's dream?
  Of accessing the open space of consciousness to be creation?

  Hmmm,
  raffi
