Larry, I'm in for Toronto! My sister lives there and it will be an opportunity to visit her from Florida. As for the OS list, I still marvel at it every day. It's like a friend whispering its wisdom in so many inspiring ways. The Wave Rider event was very intense for me and I so honor this community. Holding space, being a witness, letting go...I have much to learn and live. So Larry, yes indeed, I do want to play in the Toronto sandbox doing whatever tasks need doing. Suzanne<br>

Now that I am playing with a variety of social networks, lists, Linkiden<br>
groups, twitters and all, I find the OS list one of the things I use to keep<br>
in touch -- it is interesting what it all takes now to stay connected. The<br>
connections are great and I want time for other stuff too.<br>
<br>
Christine, I think you did a great job and the SD lens on Open Space and<br>
self-organization is important to me. So is the Integral perspective and<br>
some of those we played with at SLOW in Seattle. I had a great time there<br>
with Christy, Brian, Jeff, Harrison, Doug, Tennison, Suzanne, Peggy and Anne<br>
holding our space -- among others. I developed my thinking some and Wave<br>
Rider is still a great book.<br>
<br>
Harrison and I are planning another such gathering in Toronto area in<br>
mid-November (not your most exciting month weatherwise but no snow likely).<br>
Anybody else want to play in the planning of that?<br>

<br>
John & Rory,<br>
<br>
I'm hoping that Larry Peterson and Doug O'Loughlin might chime in, as they<br>
are strongly grounded in both OST and SD. At the WOSonOS in Halifax several<br>
years ago, Larry convened a session on SD & OST.<br>
<br>
Rory, to your point about the convening question, my own experience is that<br>
within every group, even relatively homeostatic groups, we find a range of<br>
memes showing up in both individual perspectives and the collective<br>
perspective. That said, since Spiral Dynamics is one of the lenses I carry<br>
around with me, I can't help but be fascinated with how the memes weave into<br>
each other in an Open Space event. I love watching how diversity shows up<br>
and enriches the conversations.<br>
<br>
John, what is also of interest to me is when the sponsors seem to be ready<br>
to unleash self-organization and once the genie is out of the bottle, want<br>
to try to stuff it back in. In those cases, I watch for where the<br>
self-organization seeds have taken root, even if the formal system seems to<br>
be ignoring them.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the great discussion.<br>
<br>
Warm wishes from toasty Phoenix,<br>
<br>
Christine<br>
