Oops - mediation - not meditation...<br>
<br>
As Gilda Radner's character Emily Latella would say on the American
television show Saturday Night Live...<br>
<br>
Never mind.<br>

Dear Arno,<br>
<br>
Open Space is a bit analogous to organizational meditation if you
think about it.<br>
<br>
A traditional leader is similar to the ego in our consciousness,
with the illusion of command and control. In Open Space, the
"leader" takes a breather and just watches what's present in the
psyche of the organization and lets it surface - "how fascinating"
- and then refuses to refocus the organization on any one topic at
least during the time of the Open Space.<br>

<br>
I have seen on the list comments from listers with connections
to mediation. I am intersted in possible overlappings of these
two methods. <br>
After expressing once my skepsis on traditional conference
arrangement (on a mediatiors annual conference) I was encouraged
to suggest alternatives. I suggested OS. This idea developed
into search for a mix of mediation and OS. The min. program is
still dividing annual meeting between time for presentations and
OS. The max. program could be some arrangement including OS and
mediation practice. <br>
So, what you think? <br>
