<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> 16 European countries
represented in first OST expereince OST</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Friends,<BR><BR>Today, at Rolduc, a 12th century abbey in
the Netherlands, two of the most innovative leaders in La Leche League (LLL)of
Europe conducted the first OST meeting at their European Mastery
Symposium. Department heads from 16 European countries (Slovenia,
Hungary, Greece, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria,
UK, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Switzerland) and the USA have come
together to share best practices and discuss ways to grow their
organization.<BR><BR>Of course, it was a fabulous success - they are sitting
with me right now as I write to you, feeling shy about telling you just how
exciting this is. Genevieve Treille and Christine Koehler from France
said, "nous avons du nous battre" ( we had to fight) to offer a full day
option of OST along side the more traditional workshops that were being
offered at this educational event.<BR><BR>Their OST theme was: Collaborating
and working together in order to enhance our effectiveness." Out of the
total 80 participants in the symposium, 25 sat in the opening circle and
posted 13 topics over three sessions. <BR><BR>At midday, there was a
palpable buzz in the air but not due to any bumble bees, because leaving a
session was felt to be too impolite. Some of the participants reported
that they were holding the law of two feet in their minds but weren't quite
ready today.<BR><BR>During the closing circle, other women who were not there
for the opening, came to find out what all the excitement was about. All
together nearly half of the women from the event were exposed to OST.
Already the Chair of LLL Germany has decided to conduct their entire National
Conference as an Open Space.<BR><BR>One of the women who came to the closing,
"borrowed" the sticky wall to hold her next session in Open Space.
Buzzzzzzz.<BR><BR>Personally, I am excited because colleagues and I from the
Chaordic Commons have been consulting with La Leche League International to
help develop a distributed system, seed a more appreciative culture and, of
course, to encourage self-organizing. Today, many leaders had the
personal experience of just how natural this is to their organization. I
am so moved by listening to these women, nearly all speaking English as a
second language, sharing what has heart and meaning for them. I have the
sense that this is part of the magic, too. Their passion is grounded as
they slow down to choose just the right words to express what they mean.
Our national ambassadors could learn much from these dedicated women about
authentic communication. <BR><BR>Christine Koehler says that
this experience proved to the participants that self-organizing is not just
for dreamers or just talking to be talking. It worked wonderfully as a
training for the new Department Heads from Eastern Europe. One of the
conference organizers had been worried that the hosts of the sessions would
not be properly prepared nor would they have adequate materials. But
just the right people came to each session J <BR><BR>Genevieve
says, "I thought it was magic, because at the beginning, everyone was worried
that there would be no subjects posted. But as soon as one person posted
a topic, one after another came forward."<BR><BR>One of Christine's
innovations: During the report outs, she read a title of a discussion
and then placed the paper with the session topic in the center of the circle
so that by the end, the circle was holding the intelligence of the discussions
in a very tangible form.<BR><BR>In the closing circle, they asked for words
that represented the experience - renewed, energized, connected, focused,
going to the point. And guess what? They were not surprised.
This is how they always work when they are at home. <BR><BR>Some of the
comments heard in the halls afterward were:<BR><BR>"This was like putting on a
coat that fits."<BR><BR>"I'm really excited about what we did today. I
have the impression it's the first time we worked so deeply."<BR><BR>"I felt
incredible - it is really exciting because when you "prepare" a typical
conference session, you never really know if people are there because they
have to be there. With this process, you know that people come because
they want to be there and you have the passion for the topic so it is more
interesting.<BR><BR>"We should have done this for the whole EMS
meeting."<BR><BR>"I am happy to be able to discuss what is important to
me."<BR><BR>Genevieve and Christine K. want everyone to know that they are
lurkers on this list and appreciate all that they are learning from
everyone. In particular, Christine would like to thank Tova for recently
writing up the experience with the Israeli company because she shared that
post with an Israeli La Leche League Leader.<BR><BR>Ho!<BR><BR>In ten days,
these two dynamos are participating in an OST meeting to create the Open Space
Institute in France. Please feel free to contact them
directly:<BR>g.treille@wanadoo.fr<BR>christine.Koehler@wanadoo.fr.<BR><BR>Au
revoir and many blessings to you all,<BR><BR>Genevieve Treille<BR>Christine

handle the problem with “senior people” is to make sure that you have had a
conversation with them BEFORE the OS starts. In most cases if you explain how
it is all going to work and how essential it is for everybody to have a chance
to speak, I find there is usually no problem. Also, as you may remember, Open

major issue to be dealt with, everybody would sit in a circle, sometimes the
whole village – and EVERYBODY talked, and usually one at a time. The people
would say, “Never let the Sun set on a Palaver” – which meant we don’t stop
talking until it is over. When it was over, the chief elder would say the
final word, usually some parable or saying that captured what the consensus
was. Up to that point it was not uncommon for that elder to sit in silence for
hours. Just holding the space. I don’t know where you are, or what groups you
are working with, but I would be willing to bet that they already know a lot
more about Open Space than you think. If so, all you have to do is to open the
space and let them, get on with what they would do naturally. I have also had
a very similar experience here in the </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial

OS with First Nation People. At first they thought it was some strange new
white magic. I guess the name threw them – or the fact that I am white made
them sure that whatever I might do was going to be strange. But it usually
only took about 20 min and they forgot all the strangeness and felt right at
home. I remember one Navajo Chief coming up to me after the 1<SUP>st</SUP> day
saying “What took you so long, White Man?” He said it with a smile. This
strange, new, wonderful thing called Open Space had actually been in native
tradition from the beginning. We (white people) were only just catching
on.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<BR>thanks for getting me in touch with Valerie and also for sharing your
experience with OST with African participants. <BR>The first aspect you
mentioned ("To my experience so far, you should not fall into the African
³trap² that everything needs to be discussed at length. So, after you have
introduced the rules, do not accept any discussions but open the market place
immediately.") makes perfectly sense to me. <BR>For the second aspect ("You
might also run into slight problems if there are some senior people who want
their status to be honored.") I am wondering how you deal with that. In terms
of space invasion I can imagine possible ways to deal with this. Do you have
any other recommendations for this specific situation? What did you do? And
what did other people do who found themselves in this specific
situation?<BR><BR>Thanks for your support and your willingness to share. I am
very impressed by the openness and the readiness to invite newcomers to the
OST community!<BR>Happy
