I  am pleased to announce the release of a small book I have been working  on for the last three years.  It is called "The Tao of Holding  Space" and it is a collection of interpretations of the 81 short  chapters of the Chinese classic Tao te Ching as they apply to my  experience of holding space.  I started this book three years ago,  when I began noting parallels between Lao Tzu's words and my experience  of leadership, facilitation and living in Open Space, something many of  us have done.  In some ways this book chronicles the essence of my  own emergent practice of Open Space.  In looking over it one more  time, I realized that almost everything I know about Open Space is  somehow distilled into these chapters  

I have written here many times over the years about the  appreciation I have for the teachers on this list.  Signing on to  the OSLIST is one of the single most important decisions I have ever  made.  And so, listmates and friends in this practice, I  ultimately wrote this for you, individually and collectively.   Some of you will see your words and ideas expressed in here as I  learned and Incorporated them into my own practice.  Harrison's  words are here of course, as are many of Michael Herman's relating to  practice and invitation.  And I took Lisa Heft's "model  enthusiasm" as the subject of one chapter.  These among  others.  I have a been an active listener all these years!  

You can download it here:

Please  feel free to share it as widely as you see fit.  It is a small  offering of gratitude for all that I have learned from this community  over the past 10 years.  

With deep appreciation for the inspiration and continued learning,

Chris
