Hi, Marty,<br> <br>Just a few quick insights from my experience with Zen and Open Space; for me, they go hand in glove.<br> <br>When I open space, I think of that "field" that Rumi is talking about:<br> <br><em>Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,</em><br><em>there is a field. I'll meet you there.</em><br> <br>It is a field that the heart knows - a field for shared passions and genuine dialogue, not defending positions around conceptual views.<br> <br></div></blockquote></body></html>
