opening space with very small groups

[Harrison Owen]

Isa - Open Space is free. Always has been. There is lots of material to help
you. For a brief description of how it works (and how to do it) check out
http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm  And if you are curious as to
why it works look at http://www.openspaceworld.com/emergent_order.htm 

 

If you want more you might look at my book, "Open Space Technology: A User's
Guide (Berrett-Koehler). You can get a copy from www.amazon.com
<http://www.amazon.com/>  Just enter the title or my name. And if all that
doesn't tire you out, I have written 4 more books.

 "I have opened space for a small board retreat "

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.
