Holding Space - an ebook<BR><BR></FONT></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
