[OSList] Open Space for Non-Violent Communications

[Harrison Owen]

Welcome to the club Yaari! My experience, repeated more times than I hate to think about -- is that the most combative, combustible, argumentative folks are the "Peace-niks. Give me a bunch of engineers, elite military, Corporate Executives anytime. There might be a lesson here? I think it could be about being doctrinaire. Everybody is for "peace" and each person knows PRECISELY the RIGHT way to get there -- and they will fight to the death for their position. May be a little bit cynical, but for sure those folks could use a little Open Space. Who knows -- Peace might actually break out. Thanks for opening the space. We all need it.

And I think that "lesson" may be taking hold. Witness the sort of openness in the "Arab Spring" and the "Occupy Whatever." 5th Principle at work, I think.

puh! ... this-one was quite a rough ride ... for the participants and a
challenge for myself facilitating it. in the end i was happy that it went
for three days including reading & augmenting and action-planning ... so
the group had time to find her peace at last (i believe).
it left me fairly exhausted and assuming that non-violent communication can
become quite violent some times. surprise? i guess not!

"non-violent" love

This just in (my inbox) from some good folks in Germany. Sounds like a good
cause, and if interested, please follow up. Yaari (Michael Pannwitz’ son)
will be facilitator, so I know you will be in good hands.
