A collective transformation comes from acknowdging a death of the Moose (old
order) that people feel but fear to face...
I think this is the nutrient environment where new reality emerges.
Thank you for this powerful word!

"Liberate the leader in each of us"

Subject: 'Compostable Conferences'.
'Compostable Conferences'. Now there is a phrase with a ring to it! One
might even say a fertile ring. And it brings out the whole other side of
Open Space. People talk about the sweet, good, truth - to say nothing of
love and light. But there is more going on than meets the eye. Makes me
think of swamps. Most people don't like swamps - they are smelly, gooky, and
filled with creepy-crawly things. All true, AND swamps are also the
essential seedbed of life, where it all begins. Could be a message here.
Some long time ago Bergitt Williams inaugurated The Dead Moose Society. For
those unfamiliar with Moose, they are very large, prefer swampy areas, and
when they expire they smell something fierce. The Dead Moose Society was
designed specifically for organizations and institutions who had dead moose
under the tables (the unspeakable) and needed some help. Turns out that Open
Space is the perfect venue for converting an odoriferous moose into fertile
opportunities.
Seems like we may be getting back to our roots, or at the very least - down
to basics.

Subject: Go to the people
Many of you probably know this saying of the author of the Tao de ching and
Taoism, but for those who might not, I'd like to share it. I operate from
it in my work with community and I believe it reflects the self-organizing
philosophy underpinning OST
Go to the People;
Live among them;
Love them; Learn from them;
Start from where they are;
Work with them; Build on what they have.
But of the best leaders,
When the task is accomplished,
The work completed,
The people all remark:
"We have done this ourselves"
. Lao Tse
