self organized learning

Sat Sep 25 04:17:43 PDT 2010

Greetings Pat!

In line with countless learning opportunities from ups and downs I
encountered in my life, the only thing I've decided is "Not to Give Up the
Path of the Innermost Indivisible Self." A life-long journey of eternal
quest indeed! The challenge seemed to lie in finding right companions for
that journey. Now, inviting people to Open Space, however, makes it so much
easier to find such folks who are or can be on that journey. From then on,
whatever we do adds up to another "High Play<->High Learning" opportunitis.
I enjoy this. How fascinating it is to live with the eternal indivisible
whole as we are with all the differences... ;-)

Thank You Pat for Everytning,

I agree Harrison it is brilliant.  And when I referred to open space
learning I meant it in the broadest of ways.  i meant it in the way where we
are a drift in a sea of knowing not what and open to all the possibility of
interaction and relationship.  I also love seeing the expression of what we
all hold dear, spoken as action as it is in the video.  We often look for
concrete expressions of action as in plans and task lists when we look to
quantify the importance of the kind of meeting space that open space
permits.  I most often think that a true expression of what we hope has
happened can't be quantified in that way.  The expression we really hope for
is one that transforms how each of us does all the different work we do.
Expressions where evidence of the "tool" is at work fashioning all the
actions that come from our movement through our lives.  We share a dream for
this.  I am glad that it touched you.

Pat - Much more than fascinating, it is absolutely brilliant. Truly it
brought tears to my eyes arising in part because of the consummate
simplicity of the learning experiment and its powerful result - but even
more because it epitomizes precisely what I believe we as a community should
be about. And it is not just about the education of children, important
though that may be. The possibilities are larger involving virtually every
aspect of the human endeavor. We have had the privilege of witnessing the
power of self organization at work doing things that most of our fellows,
who have not had that experience, will consider to be impossible. Open Space
may have provided the door way through which we might  consciously enter the
self organizing world. But that is simply a beginning and the best is yet to
come. The first step is to push beyond the narrow focus on OST as a method
or "tool" - to begin to apply the central understandings to the vast array
of human undertakings - finance, marketing, food production, scientific
research, and on and on. Each application will be different and
experimental, even as the video you posted was different and experimental.
And we cannot do it alone, but we can be a powerful yeast that raises up
some marvelous new loafs of bread. I confess that over the past few months
as I have been reading OSLIST, I have totally enjoyed the warmth of the
community and our willingness to support each other as required - holding
space for a venture. But I have also longed for something more and deeper.
And Pat, I think you might just have opened a way. Thank you!

Here is a link to a TED talks video that describes open space learning.  It
is pretty fascinating.
