And now freely I have translated the transcript of Kári Gunnarsson into Spanish and published also in Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/centrointeligenciacolectiva  

I hope that all this is fine for you, dear Tova.

Have all a very happy new year.

SIETE PRINCIPIOS DEL ESPACIO ABIERTO

Por Tova Averbuch

Principalmente cara a cara, pero también podría ser de modo virtual, estamos tratando de crear una infraestructura para la interacción humana en la que pueda tomar lugar la creación de organizaciones como sistemas vivos, y no como sistemas mecánicos.

¿Ahora cómo es que trabajamos en espacio abierto? ¿Qué tipo de principios o formas de comportamiento utilizamos, para que nos sea posible participar plenamente tal como cada uno es y al mismo tiempo estar totalmente abierto a los demás, a todo tipo de otros, para crear un colectivo?

De todas las metodologías que yo sé que están abriendo espacios, se pueden identificar siete principios o formas básicas de comportamiento. Son muy sencillos.

1.       Tú estás invitado, no es que tengas que venir, pero estás invitado.

2.       Tú estás incluido, y lo que te hace estar incluido es que desees venir.

3.       Tú eres la persona adecuada, nada de vergüenza, nada de culpa, tú eres perfecto de la manera que eres.

4.       Todo se realiza auto organizadamente, nadie te está diciendo lo que hay que hacer, tú haces que suceda, creando la agenda, etc.

5.       Transparencia, todo lo hacemos transparentemente de modo que podemos construir en base la sabiduría de unos y otros, capa por capa.

6.       Animamos e invitamos cierta multiplicidad y versiones múltiples, no tiene que ser en una lógica secuencial o lineal, todo pasa al mismo tiempo, es genial.

7.       Tú eres libre de moverte en todo momento, y dejar que tus piernas te lleven a donde tu corazón y tu mente quieran estar.

Si recibimos o reunimos a personas y no les exigimos que deban estar de acuerdo, entonces ellas no tendrán que luchar y ponerse en riesgo. Y si las convocamos y les permitimos moverse libremente, eso significará que los individuos podrán auto regularse y cuando consideren tener suficiente o sientan que la emoción los atrapa y no puedan controlarla, entonces podrán elegir ir a otro lugar, y podrán ellos mismos auto regularse sin sentirse restringidos.

Es en esta forma de trabajo en el que los individuos pueden ser plenamente ellos mismos, y tal como lo he visto, comenzar a estar completamente vivos y crear colectivos como sistemas vivos y no mecánicos como sistemas máquinas.

Dear Tova

This is beautiful.

Self organization by living systems

A write-up of the description of open space given by Tova at the TEDx talk:

We are trying to create an infrastructure for human interaction to
take place, mainly face to face but also could be virtual, to create
organizations that are living systems, not mechanical systems.

Now how do we work in open space? What kind of principles or ways of
conduct do we use, that make it possible to come as fully me and yet
in the same time to be totally open to others, to all sorts of others,
to create a collective we.

>From all the methodologies that I know that are opening space I could
draw up seven principles or ways of conduct. They are weary simple.

1. You are invited, you don't have to come, but you are invited.

2. You are included, and what makes you included is that you wish to come.

3. You are the right people, no shame, no blame, you are perfect the
way you are.

4. It is all done by self organization, no one is telling you what to
do, you are making it happen, creating the agenda, etc.

5. Transparency, we do it all in transparency so we can build on the
wisdom, of one and another, of layer by layer.

6. We encourage and invite some multeity and multi version, it
dose not have to be in sequential or linear logic, it happens all at
the same time, it is great.

7. You are free at all times to be mobile, and let your legs carry you
to where your heart and mind wants to be

If we are getting or putting people together and we do not insist that
they must agree, then they don't have to fight and compromise. And if
we take people and we allow them to move freely, that means that
people can self regulate and if they had enough and they feel that the
emotion is arising and they can not control it, they can go somewhere
else, they can self regulate themselves and they feel no constrain.
And in this way of work where individuals can be fully themselves,
they become, as I can see, fully alive, and create collectives that
are living systems and not mechanical or machine like systems.

Thank you Peggy and Kari and Juan

And thank you Carol for bringing your voice directly to the list!

As to our times, It sure is terrific time . even those who resent what we do - consider it. I am very curious to see the winter that follows this summer, hoping we will persevere attending to what has heart and meaning. I joined an initiative of citizen that is called “social guard” making sure there will be an attending citizen in every meeting of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) in the coming few months to see who the social agenda created during summer and on is implemented. A new form of “regulator” J. 

Yet I must admit that Along with that there is some aprehention… I hope there will not be a reaction of people in power to use power to shut this new paradigm of citizenship….

Lovely, lovely lovely work Tova!

And I do share the feeling that we are at a tipping point.  I had the opportunity to witness a bit of a general assembly at Occupy Baltimore.  Watching the group reflect together on real, immediate issues was inspiring.  To know that it is happening all over the world, that's something!  What a terrific time to do what we do.

Love,

Peggy

Dear Suzanne, Anna Caroline, Doug, Harrison, Florian, Skye and all

Thank you my friends of the list for your warm feedback and for spreading the word.

This summer was a “hot “ one in more than one way.

Working with the protest movement in Israel (especially the1000 tables event that reported on Face book) had taken the art of Opening Space to new spear for me. I also hear resonance to that feeling  in many voices on the list,  from Egypt to occupying san Diego. My sense is that the straggle  to bring back to life parts of ourselves and of society that are sacrificed is reaching a tipping point.

Do you share this feeling?

Dear Tova, I'm so excited by your TED talk. At the risk of "gilding the lily"  you speak so beautifully of a living entity - being and becoming,  autonomous and connected, the importance of diversity, wisdom that comes from that diversity, the simultaneous learning and self-organization, a living entity not a economic machine as companies so often are. Our work at Autognomics Institute has been working for over 50 years in the study of  the nature of living entities - you have spoken so eloquently on Open Space and on these foundational principles that show up throughout life - living organisms and the living cosmos in which we live.  Thanks so much for this.  And thanks for this Open Space list of fantastic conversations. You all inspire me to the bones.   Skye

Dear Tova, I stayed up late tonight to watch your wonderful TED talk in which you shared your beautiful story of how you started in Open Space and what it means to you and others. I gladly join you in "the growing business of making social living systems" with all that it ignites inside each of us and for the world we live in.  Bravo and thank you for sharing this with all of us!
