panflu - what next? - open space

Sat Oct 22 01:09:00 PDT 2005

Hi Chris,

two days ago multinational sales company let us know, that they are planning
to conduct an OpenSpace-Online planning conference about "personal, family
and organisational pandemic prevention". They want to invite the leadership
and interested employees across distances to share thoughts and ideas
regarding such complex "as if case".

If the company will be open to share results or effects I will let you know.

Warmly,
Gabriela

Hi there:

I have just returned from a confernece of health directors from indigenous
communities around british columbia. Thought you might like to know that the
Shuswap Nation health directors have been using Open Space to work with
their communities on pandemic planning, including working through scenarios
and having conversations about "what if?"

As I understand it they are working with Donella Sellars, a Shuswap woman I
did some work with a few years ago and who came to a couple of
Herman/Corrigan practice workshops.

It seems to me that, as facilitators, we could teach people this process
specifically for use in the preparation for disasters including pandemic
planning. OST is so easy to use and it encourages and brings to life the
kind of self-organization that is needed. I think we almost have a duty to
give people this process.

Anyway, if I hear more news I'll let you all know how they are doing.

Chris

Actually, Raffi -- I find that it always happens, but sometimes you just
have to pretend that you are working. :-)

Lisa,

I recall Chris Corrigan wrote here once that he includes the day after
an OST meeting as paid time in his contracts.

And I think that's right.
Now, maybe if I began sleeping (I haven't gotten into this healthy
habit yet) during OST meetings...

But, i think the thing about OST meeting facilitation is that once
you've opened the space you're "on" whether or not you want to/like
to or not. Spirit is at work, period. I've always imagined it as a
wave flowing thru my pineal gland thru my chakras and out the belly.

I wonder if really living the four practices of os as Michael Herman
writes about them has something to do with how I feel the next day. If
I were more grounded in those practices, maybe that recovery would
take place differently?

For now, I get the sense that the day after really needs to be a day
for lounging and recovery...which doesn't always happen...

warmly,
raffi
