Tr : Re: opening space with very small groups

[louise]

Welcome Isa
  
  This is not a dumb question. There is no trademark attached to the Open  Space. Thanks to Harrison Owen. You may start with reading  Open  Space Technology: a User's Guide written by Harrison Owen. Very very  usefull. You will also find many usefull tips on   http://openspaceworld.org and http://openspaceworld.com  and to  other sites from there.Then you might want to try it by   participating in one in your neighbourhood and really get the feel.  Check the world map on this site to see if there is someone near you  who is actually faciliating OS, and have a coffee with her or him.  There are training sessions around the world, you may want to register.  Then the best way will be to try it out as a facilitator.
  
  If you read french, you might find what is the psychosociology behind  OST on my blog http://leadershipcreateur.wordpress.com. Basically to me  it is to trust that people get organized and create from chaos, just as  the rest of the universe. Our job as a facilitator is to open space  enough so they can do it. Being as invisible as possible while totally  present.
  
  Hope this is of some help to you and welcome on board

    I am sure this is a really dumb question  but I have been reading these posts here for several days and the literature on  the web site.
     
    I was referred to this by a discussion at  Couch Surfing, one of whose founders wants to make open space an integral part  of Couch Surfing.
     
    Is Open Space exclusively a proprietary  software or is there a methodology one can study by old fashioned reading? What  is the psychosociology or whatever or small group methods or whatever behind  it?
     
     
    Thanks. Thank you for the ongoing  discussion.
     
     
    I real do appreciate the idea of Open  Space, but without having an actual opportunity to engage in it, it is all  pretty abstract and a bit opaque for me. And the discussion does not seem to be  making what is happening any more concrete for me. Like I said sorry for the  naive inquiry.
