This morning I sat down creating a rough cut list of why I love Open Space because of what it invites.You may have your own list that you want to share or perhaps a gem or two you want to add. Perhaps it will offer a tidbit here or there that is of value to Phelim as he crafts his article.<br>
<br><br>
<ol><li>Open Space is spiritual. It is SOURCE. </li><li>Open Space is practical, invites real work to be done</li><li>Open Space is transformational, a time when we can “experience”
a new way of working together</li><li>Open Space invites the dance of chaos and control, invites
people to life, to being who they truly are; to being alone and together</li><li>Everyone is invited to contribute and engage on the most
important issues</li><li>The world is too complex to rely on a small group of leaders
and experts to define the direction and strategy; we need the perspective and
contribution of many</li><li>When people are included, feel valued and get a glimpse of
the bigger picture, they become self-motivated to contribute and make a
difference</li><li>Open Space invites depth and detail in the sharing of what
people know and do</li><li>People feel proud and valued when they are included</li><li>Open Space has a very robust structure with principles and a
law that invite people to be intentional and to unleash their own leadership</li><li>Open Space combines speed and high engagement, provides a
view of the bigger picture, sets the context and priorities and draws wisdom
and active participation from many</li><li>Open Space ignites freedom and choice for the individual, no
small matter in a world where we are always told what to do and think</li><li>Open Space provides people at all levels the opportunity <span> </span>to hear and to engage with each other directly
without interpretation or filters</li><li>Open Space makes clear the combination of passion and
responsibility</li><li>When people write down their topic and sign their name on
something related to the most important issues, they are declaring to others
what matters most to them, publicly taking ownership perhaps for the first time</li><li>Open Space is experiential; gets people out of their head
simply by sitting in a circle together</li><li>Open Space provides the opportunity to quickly put all the
issues on the table; when something is named, it suddenly becomes something we
can address and deal with.</li><li>Open Space awakens something
inside people, a sense of wonder, of curiosity, of energy and hope; with a
spirit of fun</li><li>Open Space opens space in our
lives, inviting us to put aside everything that we are doing to focus on that
which is most important , that matters to us</li><li>Open Spaces creates connection
between people</li><li>Open Space invites us to let go
of time, to stop when we are finished, to continue when we are not</li><li>Open Space is Love and Connection</li><li>Open Space invites us to see our
differences and uniqueness</li><li>Open Space invites us to see
where we are the same</li><li>In Open Space, we accomplish a
lot in a short period of time. </li><li>Open Space invites spontaneity
and intuition, essential ingredients of innovation and creativity </li><li>The biggest hump in Open Space is
invitation, once over the hump as people experience the power of the process,
magic starts to happen. </li><li>No power points, no assigned
experts or leaders, simple to organize, powerful in what happens and gets done</li><li>Open Space invites the courage of
speaking our own voice</li><li>Open Space is life as it was meant to be<br></li><li>Open Space creates connection and
when people are connected, possibilities become possible and problems seem to
slip away</li><li>Open Space is nothing and
everything</li></ol>

<div><br></div><div>What I would like to add is relaxation (I hope, this word meets exactly what I want to express). It means to me, that participants feel free, to be/to feel like they actually do. No need to hide, no need to play a role. A butterfly (so to say: just sitting around doing nothing) is as important as a leader of a workshop of thirty people. You are EXPECTED to do nothing if you feel like doing nothing.</div>
