Another worldrecord?

[Marty Boroson]

Dear Thomas

What I like most about your email is the way you have identified and
described locations:  nothing is "in" a location or room, only "near" it, or
"by" it or "at" it.  And no room numbers!  With this simple turn of phrase,
we are already thinking and meeting "out of the box".  And many of the
locations have a natural object, which serves as a touchstone, a wonderful
way both to ground the discussions and keep them fluid.  It is also very
playful--suggesting children playing hide-and-seek.  

Bravo!

Marty

Dear friends in Open Space
Yesterday I facilitated an OST where the age-difference between the oldest
and youngest was 90 years! From 1-91, both of them were amonst the most
active participants in this - my firs ever planned out-door OS-meeting. In
Sweden it is hard or almost impossible to predict that it will be warm
enough and not raining - even during summertime. This time we had both
in-&outdoor options and the weather came out perfect. One of the first
really warm days this year - everybody enjoyed the different break-outs -
1. By the lake.
2. At the stone.
3. At the fireplace
4. By the tree
5. Behind the agenda wall
6. At the edge (of the lawn)
...
In the morning we built an agendawall with parts from an old greenhouse.
Other signs went into the trees. In the center we had 4 big stones/rocks.
The groups loved it and had a great time - of course. Such a joy.

Something exciting coming next: Next week I will facilitate an lunch-lunch
OST with 200 local/regional politicians from the Nordic countries - who were
sick and tired about the traditional yearly meetings they´ve had for a few
years. The theme is: Issues & Opportunities for brave leadership!
Warmest regards
