This is a great book Chris and as serendipity would have it, I picked up a new translation of the Tao last night and first thought was how perfectly suited it is for the work of open space and that someone should put that together. Dreaming about it, I wake up this morning to this gift. Thanks, brother, for the fast turnaround on it : ) Jack

<br>><br>>I am pleased to announce the release of a small book I have been working on<br>>for the last three years. It is called "The Tao of Holding Space" and it<br>>is<br>>a collection of interpretations of the 81 short chapters of the Chinese
<br>>classic Tao te Ching as they apply to my experience of holding space. I<br>>started this book three years ago, when I began noting parallels between<br>>Lao<br>>Tzu's words and my experience of leadership, facilitation and living in
<br>>Open<br>>Space, something many of us have done. In some ways this book chronicles<br>>the essence of my own emergent practice of Open Space. In looking over it<br>>one more time, I realized that almost everything I know about Open Space is
<br>>somehow distilled into these chapters<br>><br>>I have written here many times over the years about the appreciation I have<br>>for the teachers on this list. Signing on to the OSLIST is one of the<br>>single most important decisions I have ever made. And so, listmates and
<br>>friends in this practice, I ultimately wrote this for you, individually and<br>>collectively. Some of you will see your words and ideas expressed in here<br>>as I learned and Incorporated them into my own practice. Harrison's words
<br>>are here of course, as are many of Michael Herman's relating to practice<br>>and<br>>invitation. And I took Lisa Heft's "model enthusiasm" as the subject of<br>>one<br>>chapter. These among others. I have a been an active listener all these
<br>>years!<br>><br>>You can download it here:<br>><br>><a href="http://www.chriscorrigan.com/ftp/Tao_of_holding_space.pdf">http://www.chriscorrigan.com/ftp/Tao_of_holding_space.pdf</a><br>><br>>Please feel free to share it as widely as you see fit. It is a small
<br>>offering of gratitude for all that I have learned from this community over<br>>the past 10 years.<br>><br>>With deep appreciation for the inspiration and continued learning,<br>><br>>Chris<br>><br>
