style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>to understand that all organizations are
Open Space Organizations. My work has been to assist those that choose to do
so, to become conscious of themselves as Open Space Organizations, opening as
much space as possible within clear and defined constraints. The paradox seems to
be that the clearer the constraints or givens are, the clearer the definition
of where the space is open for real degrees of freedom for action and
creativity. For me, the conscious Open Space Organization, as I understand it
is not a self organizing system. Rather, a matrix or nutrient field is provided
that is clearly bounded and ready to nurture whatever is created. The matrix
then gets filled in by choices that are life nurturing or life depleting. The
conscious Open Space Organizations is life nurturing rather than life
depleting. The conscious Open Space Organization is aware that within it, there
is always the blueprint for its own health. My vision is for more and more of
us to learn about the conscious Open Space Organization, developing within us
the skills and capacity to assist organizations as mentors in this way.</span></font><font

12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold'>On September 21<sup>st</sup>,
we had the opportunity to experiment with how it felt to be in an Open Space
Technology meeting, that was within another one, that was within an intentionally
created Open Space that was within the greater Open Space of the universe and
beyond. For reasons that have to do with the way that I listen to guidance from
Spirit, I initiated an intentional Open Space for the morning of September 21<sup>st</sup>
(separately noted for this list). And then I was guided to hold an Open Space
Technology meeting for most of the “train the trainer” program of the Genuine
Contact program, that also was to begin on the 21<sup>st</sup>. This Open Space
Technology meeting was to last 2 days. And then I was guided to host the
inaugural meeting of the International Alliance for Mentoring also on the 21<sup>st</sup>
and in this case as a short meeting in the evening. I looked at that whole
configuration and was simultaneously overwhelmed by the sheer ambition of it
all, and then I laughed out loud when I understood that this is what is faced
by organizations daily, getting more heightened as they become aware of
themselves as conscious Open Space Organizations. I felt as though I was being
challenged to walk my talk yet again. </span></font><font color=black

Seeing what there was before me, the design included the following to give
those who participated maximum learning experiences. The intentional opening of
space at 7am eastern standard time for harmony in the world included people who
were not physically present with us but who had responded to an invitation. All
of us, the 20 physically present and the many who were present energetically,
co-facilitated the opening of the space and the holding of the space, with a lifetime
commitment made to hold the space. More and more people can join us in the
cofacilitation over time. There is no limit. All are cofacilitators. The
participants in the world do not know or need to know that we are holding space
for them for harmony.</span></font><font color=black face=Arial><span

Space Technology meeting for working with the Genuine Contact program was
facilitated by me. I made a choice of a design that did not include report
forms. Instead, recommendations that were made in the different groups were
noted on one big chart for us to vote on later. The meeting design included
voting and action planning based on these recommendations. There were a number
of givens about the Genuine Contact program that were stated as data prior to
the Open Space Technology meeting, defining where the degrees of freedom for
creativity are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In my observation,
voting and action planning based on only the recommendations was an excellent
way to move items to action. However, people missed not having the reports and
desired them as well. In the future, based on my learning, I will use the
pulling out of recommendations for the action planning AND I will have reports
so that everyone has a book of proceedings. </span></font><font color=black

12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold'>The evening
long Open Space Technology meeting for the inaugural meeting of the International
Alliance for mentoring was facilitated by Judi Richardson. The design included
reports but no convergence and action planning. There was only one “given”
which was the definition we would use for “mentoring”. Beyond that, everything
was open for creation. For Judi there was the challenge of opening a space that
had a short time frame and a broad theme. As might be expected from the design,
items did not move to action. Interestingly, participants who were incomplete
with that, wove their passions/responsibilities and action planning into the
Open Space Technology meeting for the Genuine Contact program in the work of
the following day. I listened to participants discuss that this was a way to do
this, because under the givens, no one had said this was not allowed, this
carry over between meetings. I found that interesting.</span></font><font

pace of working WITH nature, rather than against nature. Productivity and
commitments were high. Follow up has taken place over the 6 weeks since the
event, including a list serve for the Genuine Contact program, planning for an
annual Open Space Technology meeting on Genuine Contact, planning for a second

closing of the space for the second meeting affect the space for the first
meeting? It was my feeling that it did a little bit, but not much. I had to
remind myself that not The Space was closed, just one little space, and there
were a few larger Spaces still open. But when I reminded myself, I could
feel the Open Space and I did not have to remind myself again.</span></font><font
