<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> The Tao of Holding Space - an
ebook</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Friends:<BR><BR>I am pleased to announce the release of a small
book I have been working on for the last three years. It is called "The
Tao of Holding Space" and it is a collection of interpretations of the 81
short chapters of the Chinese classic Tao te Ching as they apply to my
experience of holding space. I started this book three years ago, when I
began noting parallels between Lao Tzu's words and my experience of
leadership, facilitation and living in Open Space, something many of us have
done. In some ways this book chronicles the essence of my own emergent
practice of Open Space. In looking over it one more time, I realized
that almost everything I know about Open Space is somehow distilled into these
chapters <BR><BR>I have written here many times over the years about the
appreciation I have for the teachers on this list. Signing on to the
OSLIST is one of the single most important decisions I have ever made.
And so, listmates and friends in this practice, I ultimately wrote this for
you, individually and collectively. Some of you will see your words and
ideas expressed in here as I learned and Incorporated them into my own
practice. Harrison's words are here of course, as are many of Michael
Herman's relating to practice and invitation. And I took Lisa Heft's
"model enthusiasm" as the subject of one chapter. These among
others. I have a been an active listener all these years!

clear=all><BR>Please feel free to share it as widely as you see fit. It
is a small offering of gratitude for all that I have learned from this
community over the past 10 years. <BR><BR>With deep appreciation for the
inspiration and continued learning,<BR><BR>Chris<BR><BR>-- <BR>CHRIS
