Hi Annamarie<div><br></div><div>I had thought of doing something like this some years ago with a group who were exploring alternative meeting forms. We had thought that rather than see each meeting as an event we could run an 'event' over a number of months. They worked on a focus for about 6 months so the theme could be based on the focus for that time. But in the planning it all got rather complicated - I was new to OS in those days - and then I left the job so I am not sure where they went with it.</div><div><br></div><div>It seems that it could work. You would need a mindful reminder each week of why they were there, and openness to new topics. After the first week you could do 2 sessions possibly, planning and evaluation could slot in appropriately. </div><div><br></div><div>I have always loved the idea of short moments of time in OS that are mindfully part of a whole event and whether that is over a continuous event or with other parts of life between the potential is exciting.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Anne</div><div><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:41:19 -0400<br>From: annamarie@pluharconsulting.com<br>Subject: [OSLIST] Demo OS in 90 minutes?<br>To: OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU<br><br>
<div>Hoping this gets through... I tried to send a few days ago... </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Hi all, <div><br></div><div>I'm wondering if anyone has opened space for a 90-minute session? And if so, how'd it go? I'm thinking it would take 20-30 minutes before groups started talking, so there may be time for one session? Closing circle of 15 minutes? It seems too short to me. I'm asking because I'm considering proposing OS for a group that meets once a month of between 20-40 people. </div><div><br></div><div>Harrison will say go for it. I'm wondering whether anyone has. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks! </div><div><br></div><div><br><div>
