Dear Ana, Cara Ana
I was touched by you words. You said "the business companies and
organizations in general still tend to use traditional methods for
meetings or for solving problems". It is the same here in the
netherlands of I quess in many business companies here in our part of
the world. As I started to look at Open Space as a very very traditional
way of meeting (it's basis strxuture is very old. sittin gin a circle
and having people talk about things they care for) clients seemed to be
more interested in Open Space:
The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but seeing
with new eyes." Marcel Proust.
So I am sure that you will have lots od clients willing to go with you
on the discovery of Open Space.
muito saodades
warm regards
Met vriendelijke groet,
drs. C.J.P. (Carla) Vliex

Subject: a moment to remember
Dear list,
Its probably the first time writing to you.
During the last one year and a half Ive been following your
conversations, your perspectives, your insights.
I believe Ive been learning from all of you.
Ive been practicing OST in Portugal, mostly in Portuguese language but
with a few limitations; after all Im working alone with an unknown
method to most of people.
Portugal seemed to me at first sight a difficult country to implement
this method. Although the culture is very open, the business companies
and organizations in general still tend to use traditional methods for
meetings or for solving problems.
Nevertheless the few experiences I had, people did told me in the end,
that they really enjoyed having the freedom and the space open for
creativity.
The first steps are always the harder to take.
And that leads me to last 7 to 9 of September in Porto where I had the
pleasure of being invited by Ted Ernst to co-facilitate Wikisym the 4th
international event around wikis you can see more in
http://www.wikisym.org/ws2008/index.php/OpenSpace
This was certainly the event that made me realize how much I want to
continue to do Open Space. It was a such a fulfilling experience.
I noticed something very curious whatever is taken as a talking stick,
theres always a soul that tells a beautiful deep and unexpected story
about it.
On this event I happen to choose a natural stick coming from a beautiful
plant growing outside university gardens.
>From something completely out of the technological world an amazing
story was told: a plant once seeded on a dry vast corner of the world in
spite of severe climate conditions, was so beautiful that would always
be able to grow and for that called the joy of the childrens flower.
I cannot thank Ted enough for all the amazing things Ive learned about
me as a facilitator. After all I also can facilitate OSTs in Portugal
dont matter the conditions.
Peace.
Ana
