Looking for Open Space training in USA end of September/early October

[Lisa Heft]

Hello, Thomas -

[Thomas requested dates of OST trainings in late September - early October
in the US for a colleague who will be traveling there.]

My next San Francisco date for the Open Space Learning Workshop is
December 19-22.  Just in case the dates for your colleague shift.

The September date for our monthly breakfast gathering of facilitators -
"Fabulous Facilitators" - which I host at my home in the San Francisco Bay
Area - may be September 24 (date to be finalized) - so if they are
interested in having a lovely morning of conversation with fellow
facilitators about all things facilitation (Open Space and otherwise)
please feel free to have them contact me...

Lisa and all--

Yes! Yes. There is value in being the witness. We are inside the system,
a part of what is going on. Whether we touch or withhold our touch, we
are touching.

In a trial, each witness plays a crucial part. Each not only observes
but speaks her or his truth. Each affects the verdict. Not as the judge
or jury making the decision.

As I hear the various responses, it seems that much of what we each have
said comes from where we stand in the system of systems of systems
(where else could it?). By that I am seeing that Barry works primarily
inside a system of which he is an integral part. (So his active
participation is required.) Others work for corporations who "hire" them
to come in from "outside" and help. (So they need to be vigilant to keep
the impartial role.) Others of us (including me) work in communities of
which we are a part in less or more participative ways. (So they may
need to play a more active role.) What does that say about our
conversation about participation?
