Deep Democracy * Open Space * Other systemic methods

[Jeff Aitken]

Chris,

You may be interested in some OSLIST conversations long ago (and some only a few years ago) regarding the Mindell's work vis-a-vis OST.

I apologize that did not do my homework and check out your link, but I assume "deep democracy" is in the Mindell lineage, as their excellent books Sitting in the Fire and others do use this term.

I remember Harrison as usual shuddering at the sheer amount of work that Mindell does during an event. (grin)

Cheers,

Subject: Deep Democracy * Open Space * Other systemic methods

Last week I was lucky enough to talk to Myrna Lewis , originator of Deep 
Democracy http://deep-democracy.net for 2 hours elapsed, during a 4 day 
network meeting "organizational Democracy" in Washington DC 
http://clubofdc.blogspot.com

I got convinced of several things that I would be delighted to discuss more 
with anyone interested:

Along with open space, deep democracy is a truly simple/original design for 
systemically intervening with a view to resolve conflicts

since they are both systemic methods, we could benefit by understanding how 
they can best intefrface with each other in particular sorts of contexts, as 
well as what other systemic methods both tend to interface with repeatedly

cheers
