OSonOSinOZ

[Allison & Jim Baensch]

Hi All,
OSonOSinOZ was good for me too.
It got me in the mood me to think about nothing.

In Ortho-Bionomy, the gentle bodywork I practise, doing nothing is  
important.
A bumper sticker about Ortho-Bionomy in the US says: "Ortho- 
Bionomists do nothing better."
OB practitioners hold space for the client's body (and our own, as it  
happens) to work out its own issues and opportunities.
The body is, after all, a complex, adaptive, emergent system.
The founder of Ortho-Bionomy, Arthur Lincoln Pauls, used to say that  
transformation happens "between the notes", just as in music.

I like how OST was set up to have many qualities of a coffee break  
and still so much happens during OST breaks for meals, coffee, sleep  
etc.
With the OSonOSinOZ this week, I learned as much as I would at many  
another conference within the first few minutes.
And that was while having a cuppa before the space was officially  
opened on the first day!

Open Space and OB are both described by Australian cartoonist and  
philosopher Michael Leunig's poem in his book The Prayer Tree:
Let it go. Let it out. Let it all unravel. Let it free and it can be  
a path on which to travel.
Cheers,
Allison.
(There's a glorious mauve, pink and gold sunrise at the moment in  
Clifton Springs)
