<div>Hiya Susan.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Great to receive your comments, and the two attachments. Looks like Sheila based her list of symposia on mine, which is fine by me as she's added quite a bit of detail.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I get a moment I'll update the two web pages at <a href="http://www.leithcocreation.com/ot">www.leithcocreation.com/ot</a>.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you.</div>

I'm sorry that I hadn't read the archives you attached when I posted. I see now where you call it Chicago; it was actually just up the lake a bit in Milwaukee. The theme was <i>Welcoming Spirit</i> which could be, I guess, a tad amorphous but I don't recall any weirdness nor intrigue unless one counts the polka dancing that took place by some participants when we joined the Polish fest at the lakefront one evening... </font><br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">The invitation is attached here. I believe Sheila truly hosted it solo as I remember being more amazed than helpful - I'm a bit institutionalized I'm afraid and was unclear of my role. (I was unsure about giving what I had which seems to be what happens around OS.) </font><br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">It was a small group - about 15 from the participant list I have but it may not be the final one.

It lists all the OTs, year and location, up to and including that OT23 one. I apologize for the Word docs but I don't have a webpage to post them to. </font><br>

It may have been OT 23 in 2005 but I don't keep up with dates and numbers very well. I had attended the year before in northern Scotland and fell in love with the people and the rich dialogue we had. There was richness to be found that following year in Milwaukee as well. I was (still consider myself to be) "new" to OS and thought that group was a kind of subset of this larger community and the way they stayed in contact was through this very list. </font> <br>

<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I attended many in the US from 1991-1996, and the European OT9 in Hungary. I remember one participant convening a workshop that included burning money. To me, it was not outside the range of typical behavior with a few hundred 'transformation' oriented folks being together for three or four days in open space with a somewhat amorphous theme statement. There was a great deal of weirdness and intrigue. They were all very different events, and great fun and great learning for the most part. And I don't blame open space for any of the troubling parts. </font><br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">John Adams told me that the last OT symposium in Wisconsin did not take place because of lack of interest, about five years ago, and at that point there was the decision to discontinue. </font><br>

<p><font color="#004080" size="2" face="Roman">Jack – I have always loved your “map” – if only because it provides me and (indirectly I presume), and Open Space Technology with an impressive lineage which is at once colorful, although perhaps undeserved. It is true that my first public foray into the realm of Organization Transformation happened at a regional conference of ODN (Organization Development Network) – I gave a paper. What is also true is that at the time I had no real clue what Organization Development might be, where it came from, or what it might be useful for. My inspiration, training and experience came from a rather different place, including but not limited to a layman’s understanding of the New Physics, a rather deeper understanding of the myth and ritual of the ancient near east, and an appreciation of a variety of (what now would be called) esoteric traditions. Strange things like Tibetan Buddhism, Sufi thought (Rumi), some deep learning at the feet of (West) African Shamans, the work of Joseph Campbell, Ken Wilbur – and other assorted denizens of the Fringe. I wouldn’t claim academic expertise for most of this, but existential, on the ground experience for sure. Truth to tell, when Organization Transformation first reflected the light of day it was not viewed in a positive fashion by the powers that be (were) in the world of OD. Definitely heretical! Off the Wall! Out of Sight!! Some still feel that way, I am sure – but times change. And a lot of the people who found the idea of Organization Transformation radically abhorrent became friends. I can’t say we have always agreed – but we are friends. </font>
<p><font color="#004080" size="2" face="Roman"> </font>
<p><font color="#004080" size="2" face="Roman">And then we come to Open Space Technology. It does not come from, nor is it part of the great tradition (lately created) of Large Scale Interventions. It began as it remains – The product of two Martinis (and before that the Big Bang)! There was no careful research, no critical analysis of preceding efforts – just a little Gin and (much less) vermouth. And with all that as ancestors, you got to keep it simple. – Sit in a circle, create a bulletin board, open a market place – and Go to work. Hasn’t changed a bit ever since. But I am sure that our understanding of what happens has gone a lot deeper – which is not to say that we are getting anywhere near the depths we must achieve. But we are moving in the right direction, I think. And it is fun. </font>

<br>I would like to ask for your help in identifying what you feel are the 2-3 elements which deserve a place in this journey. This could be either in the history of the profession (a book, a bit of research, the birth of an method or theory), or in the history of the society around (political, technological, ...). <br>
<br>If you have a specific idea how to represent the elements which come to mind, that would be great. <br>In the case of a publication, it could be the book itself, in the case of an event maybe the invitation, <br>a poster, pictures. But we’ll also have space for filmclips and music. <br>
<br>Please mail any ideas to my E-mail at </font><a href="http://openspace.dk/" target="_blank"><font color="blue" size="3" face="Roman"><u>gm@openspace.dk </u></font></a><font size="3" face="Roman">, in the course of the coming week. <br>
