I guess I could be more direct – but will restrain myself. The temptation to guild lilies is always with us and will prove irresistible, I suspect, so long as we think of Open Space as a process we “do”, a product of our own imagining, design and control. And like all human products, it is open to improvement (Extreme Open Space??). As one who had something to do with “the Beginning” I can definitely state that such a view vastly overrates the human (my) contribution. True, I did pour the martinis, and it was my arm raising the magical substance to my lips.

Perhaps we'll change the rule to the 'law of resonating feet' to really make that clear.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 24px; "><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); ">I'll stop sessions and nudge you to move on to what resonates.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 24px; "><strong><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); ">3.

As we've discussed above, creating sessions which resonate strongly with people is the aim, but resonance is more than just a good topic. It's everything else, too. It's the ambient nature of the space you're in and a the suitable time to be in it. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 24px; "><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); ">So how do you create spaces which resonate? You make them appeal to different frequencies of thought. At Mindful we'll create very different spaces, with different lines of enquiry to be drawn throughout the sessions. This way, it will hopefully become easier for people to discern what mood their resonating in at any given time and move to an appropriate conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 24px; "><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); ">If you're keen to talk or lead a line of enquiry, then come prepared to do so! <o:p></o:p></span></div><p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 24px; "><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); ">--<o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 24px; "><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); ">We look forward to meeting you, ready to start at 9am Saturday morning. <br><br><a href="http://thisismindful.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59026299c97e28d9781a0d99a&id=bb5977f210&e=c6fb013ecc" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); ">Buy Mindful* tickets at Eventbrite.</span></a><br><br>Thanks to our sponsor<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://thisismindful.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59026299c97e28d9781a0d99a&id=6bf5b17a50&e=c6fb013ecc" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); ">Integral Development</span></a> (<a href="http://thisismindful.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59026299c97e28d9781a0d99a&id=1f2be15097&e=c6fb013ecc" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); ">@integral_org_au</span></a>) for enabling Mindful! <br><br><a href="http://thisismindful.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=59026299c97e28d9781a0d99a&id=025cbdc071&e=c6fb013ecc" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); text-decoration: none; "><img border="0" width="212" height="71" id="_x0000_i1025" src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/59026299c97e28d9781a0d99a/images/integral_development.gif"></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 24px; "><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); "><br>You can follow the <a href="http://thisismindful.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=59026299c97e28d9781a0d99a&id=38206afc43&e=c6fb013ecc" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); ">participant list</span></a> and the <a href="http://thisismindful.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59026299c97e28d9781a0d99a&id=17f2e01fb1&e=c6fb013ecc" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 153); ">speaker list</span></a> on Twitter.
