[OSList] 답장: FW: Once again: Blending OST with Training - an absolute NO NO?

[Suzanne Daigle]

I can relate to Bernd's posting and getting stuck sometimes. I can also
relate to the other postings advocating the benefits of "just" Open Space.
In the end, this work is not easy.  It is painful and blissful, often the
doors shut as they open just a crack because of what Michael P. has just
said:  "our ability to see it (i.e. remembering open space) has withered
under the forces of control".

So I too have wondered about opening space in other ways than Open Space
when the doors seem tightly shut. I then wonder if I am dishonoring
"freedom" and "choice", "self-organizing" and all that is embodied in the
Law of 2 Feet and the 4 Principles.

Last night I was part of a team hosting a World Cafe. More than 60 people
came, many strangers to each other, all hoping for a more diverse
cross-cultural community. The event opened many hearts and sparked amazing
conversations. As I sat there however, I felt myself imagining the
possibilities of how ignited these same people might have been in Open
Space. I knew it could have been more but then I had to stop myself knowing
that what was happening in the moment was also magical. Truth be told, space
opened last night.

So while I know deeply inside of me that Open Space is my first love, I do
not shut the door when other spaces open in other ways. Hopefully as I learn
to be a little less controlling every day, regressing and progressing, I can
be "open space" in so many places even if I have not been successful to
invite people to take a risk and Open up bigger Space.
