re honouring each other

[Tree Fitzpatrick]

Michael, are you willing to relinquish your ownerhsip of openspaceworld.org?
I think that would be best for the worldwide OS community.  A subdomain of
your personal website is not, in my opinion, open.

Thanks, Kaliya, for asking others to voice their possibly negative
experiences with Michael Herman.  For myself, I am feeling resentful of the
suppression taking place in this discussion.  I resent suggestions to use
non-violent communication when it is used, as it seems to be here, to
inhibit expression.

Is anyone on this list familiar with the work of Humberto Maturana?  He
posits that much of what is 'wrong' with human culture is we suppress what
'is' and pressure others to only disclose what fits the existing paradigms.
As long as folks post lovey-dovey calls for only 'positive' expression,
negativity is not allowed into the light. There is no sunlight without
shadow and, still speaking only for myself, it takes a lot of love -- in
this instance my love for the practice of OS -- to speak my truth, even when
it is negative.

I read a lot of invitation in this list for OS but only 'openness' for the
positive.

I believe there is a shadow element here that some are pressuring the rest
of us to suppress. We can go on suppressing. Yes indeed we can.  In OS,
where I live, it is often very loving, positive, affirmative, appreciative
and nonviolent to voice what I see in the dark.
