Hello, my dear OSLIST colleagues - and thank you in advance for sharing the word

always wonderful to share our diverse learning in a workshop such as this for 
people of all levels of experience. This text below includes a general

Open Space is a dialogic method where one facilitator can convene from ten to 
2000+ participants for dynamic, participant-driven dialogue.  OS can be used for 
bringing together an entire company to highlight emergent issues and 
opportunities before strategic planning, generating ideas for product or program 
design, sharing resources and best practices, understanding each other across 
cultures, sharing knowledge across disciplines, conflict transformation, 
exchanging thought and experience about complex situations, and engaging groups 
from small to large in seeing a full-systems perspective for their opportunities 
or issues.  The facilitator's role in OS is very different than for other 
dialogic methods - participants facilitate their own discussions, documentation 
and noting of linkages and common threads.

You may have heard of Open Space or participated in something called Open Space 
or 'an unconference' and wondered why it did not work - or whether it was really 
this complete and effective form.
Or you may have experienced something that sparked your interest as you watched 
a group self-organize in a highly productive process - and wondered if it was 
Open Space.

Join me for 2.5 days of mutual exploration as we share learning in and about 
Open Space.  Together you will discuss and create a theme for an Open Space 
meeting, explore issues and opportunities in your own work with groups, 
experience an Open Space, and really delve into all those elements of pre-work 
that are essential to the success of an Open Space event.

Everything from developing a theme to exploring invitation and outreach, design, 
planning, materials, variations, adaptations for cultural differences (for 
example in a non-readers environment or in a situation with power dynamics), how 
the site, food and other elements impact or enhance an Open Space event, how to 
include action planning if needed, 'what-ifs', 'when not to's', documentation, 
ideas for the sustainability of ideas, relationships and actions post-event, and 
more.

Pricing - as always - is flexible - custom tailored to what you as an individual 
can contribute and afford.

I look forward to learning with and from you,

Lisa
