<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Almost 30 years ago it occurred to me that
the Griefwork Cycle applies to institutions/organizations just as it does to
individuals – which is where it was originally discovered and described. I
guess that shouldn’t be surprising, for after all -- it is all people. Anyhow,
based on that understanding I began to hold Wakes for corporations and other
organizations that were passing from the scene. If you are interested you will find
a lot of this described in several of my books. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Later I learned that this was one more
thing not to do. All you had to do was open space and the Griefwork cycle just
naturally ran if there was a need. Specifically – if you have an
organization in major trauma either because it is going out of business or
thinks it might invite everybody to sit in a circle. No need to do anything
special (as in presenting or facilitating the process). It occurs quite
naturally all by itself. The theme will vary with the situation but usually I
do something like “What are we going to do with the rest of our lives:
Issues and Opportunities?” In short order the people effectively become
grief counselors to each other -- and more often than not get well beyond that
and start dealing with creating new futures, like business plans, etc.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>For a long time I was both amazed and
mystified by the depths reached by those grieving people in open space. Particularly
since they did it all by themselves and helped each other. I think I now
understand what is going on. Open Space is a child of self organization –
the natural, ongoing process of the cosmos itself for the last 13.7 billion
years. The good news is that life has evolved, but at a cost. It turns out that
as self organization happens there are a series of natural concomitants –
chaos, conflict, and confusion all of which usually end up with ending or death.
Doubtless we might prefer something different – but there it is. Anyhow,
I understand Griefwork to be the naturally evolved human response to the
process of self-organization. An interesting question is how this process is
coded into our collective lives ?? Since it operates everywhere and in a
similar fashion it would almost seem to be part of our genetic system. But
that is a puzzle for somebody else. What I do know is that everytime space is
opened, self-organization is energized – and the Griefwork process does
its job. No help needed.</span></font></p>

to break out is a marvelous idea, and definitely could put community news media
in a new mode of being. In the northeast of the USA we have a great enterprise
called <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Villagesoup</span></i>. It started as
a (<a href="http://www.villagesoup.com/">www.villagesoup.com</a>) online news
outlet and with most of the content generated from the community. I am not sure
how they finance it, but it has a great deal of support and the idea is
definitely spreading. But I have always thought that they could really get
double bang for their buck if they were to host what I might call Community
Editorial Meetings. That would just be a fancy name for an Open Space for
anybody who cared about issues in that community. Standard drill with
proceedings – which could then become new content. To be sure you can do
all of this online, but as we all know online, good as it is, never quite lives
up to f-t-f. It is nice to press the flesh, and great things happen with a hug,
etc. </span></font></p>

happens when folks experience shock -- the front end of Griefwork. However, as
we work our grief, fear can dissipate and new futures manifest. And boy do we
need it! And every Open Space provides the opportunity for this essential
function (Griefwork) to do its work. And not incidentally, it is one hell of a

Navy weapons and weather control testing in Washington State<br>
<br>
by Carol Hiltner<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I received an e-mail last week that caught my attention. It proclaimed that<br>
the U.S. Navy was planning to use the whole northwestern U.S. for military<br>
target practice. *Wait a second,* I thought. *Could this be true? Isn’t
the<br>
Navy supposed to be defending us? *<br>
<br>
Apparently the Navy has prepared the required environmental impact statement<br>
(EIS) that is subject to public comment until March 11th, and this e-mail<br>
outlined the author’s questions and concerns.<br>
<br>
So I read the e-mail. It was long, and contained a lot of technical<br>
information that I couldn’t assess. The author wasn’t so concerned
that we<br>
would shot at, as she was about the airborne residues of chemicals the Navy<br>
admits are toxic, such as depleted uranium and white phosphorus, that<br>
American citizens would be breathing, eating, and drinking in perpetuity.<br>
<br>
Most of the requested target practice area is just off the Washington coast,<br>
from which prevailing winds would carry persistent toxins progressively<br>
further inland. I wondered about the pollution of the orchards and wheat<br>
fields of eastern Washington, the forests and cities of western Washington,<br>
and the immediate impact on our beleaguered fisheries. Could we indeed be<br>
victims of our own defense efforts?<br>
<br>
*Democracy in action,* I thought. I have watched the surge of citizen<br>
activism spawned by our presidential elections with hope and some amazement.<br>
I participated when our President-elect asked Americans to choose the<br>
priorities for his administration by voting on the internet.<br>
<br>
I was still caught up with the wave of people’s empowerment when I got
this<br>
e-mail, and I was alarmed about the prospect of the Navy turning its weapons<br>
of war on us, even indirectly. So I glanced at the summary of the 1000-page<br>
EIS, commented via the Navy website, sent messages to my Senators and<br>
Congressman asking them to look into this, and forwarded the original e-mail<br>
to my networks requesting their involvement in protecting the western United<br>
States.<br>
<br>
Back through my network came news that Senator Conrad of North Dakota had<br>
responded. His staff determined that, based on what they found in the EIS,<br>
the area under discussion was much smaller than stated, but still worth<br>
watching.<br>
<br>
Concerned that I might have responded to a false alarm, but also recognizing<br>
that Senator Conrad’s staff might not have found the proverbial needles
in<br>
the 1000-page “haystack,” I wrote the author, Rosalind Peterson,
asking for<br>
citations to back up her assertions. She responded with a flurry of<br>
forwarded government reports and studies.<br>
<br>
What I discovered shocked me. From the mouth of Mrs. Sheila Murray, Navy<br>
Region Northwest Environmental Public Affairs Officer, this EIS addresses<br>
only a minor adjustment to an on-going weapons testing and chemical weather<br>
control program not only on the West Coast, but also in Hawaii, Alaska, and<br>
parts of the East Coast. Weather control?! Who does this serve and what is<br>
the toxic cost? The actual operations areas may be mostly off-shore, but it<br>
is *our* weather that is being experimented with for the purposes of war. It<br>
is our survival that is being tinkered with through persistent toxic<br>
chemical releases.<br>
<br>
I personally live by the adage, “We get what we focus on.” So, I
focus on a<br>
humanity engaged in the wholeness of life. I see this situation as a wake-up<br>
call for us to individually and collectively participate in decision-making<br>
with a whole-systems, long-term perspective. This official request for<br>
comments on the Navy EIS is an opening for citizens to impact the direction<br>
of the military that we pay for.<br>
