Hi Harrison,<br>
<br>
Curiosity motivates my original search, dating back to 2011 or so.
Words and phrases are important symbols and so I am curious about
these symbols, and their origin, and what these symbols might now
mean.<br>
<br>
And so I wonder if 'holding space', as <i>you</i> use it, might
mean 'holding void'.<br>
<br>
Also, I am hoping there might be previous post or two, perhaps
located in OSLIST archives, where your earlier thoughts on this term
may be found.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Daniel<br>
<br>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’m
not quite sure what motivated the search for the “earliest”
reference to “holding space” or Open Space, but I can assure
anybody who cares that in one form or another it
substantially predates the Quakers and, obviously, me. As
Jeff correctly observes, my usage was first in context that
had nothing to do with OST, if only because I had yet to
drink the cool aid. But I had been thinking a lot about the
process of transformation, an interest that dates back to
the early 60’s. And in many traditions, particularly
Buddhist, there is a critical period/phase/moment of silence
and nothingness. Goodness knows what the original words
were, in whatever language... but a typical English
translation is “void.” Works for me, but I guess I found
“open space” to be more congruent with my intent and
experience. Anyhow, that’s how it came out. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Brilliant work Harold. I also was thinking about the famous
pediatrician and therapist Winnicott and his theory of the
mothering 'holding environment' in which children develop. As
the child grows, the space being held grows too, tho not named
that way specifically.<o:p></o:p></p>

Hi Jennifer!<br>
<br>
Thanks for referencing such a great research tool. I looked at
all the books listed from 1900-1981. Check this out!<br>
<br>
Nothing before '51, and over half of the 342 references were
from 1951-54. There was a dark age of holding space from
'55-'70, with no references. And of the 342, over 96% treated
"holding space" as a noun, rather than a process. They are
about physical containers for stuff, livestock, or prisoners.<br>
<br>
Below I list the exceptions - some of which seem to hint at
the way "holding space" as an element of facilitation, though
none do so directly. The Leibniz and Kant papers were
interesting in that they peered into the concept of space
itself, holding the concept if not actual space. Very
interesting is that the military concept of "holding space"
related to the Vietnam war starts to come close to the
facilitation sense, but the last one by Robert Nozick seems to
come the closest.<br>
<br>
1953 - Princeton Alumni Magazine - "holding space" for slots
in a talent show at Princeton.<br>
<br>
1971 - The New Yorker Volume 46, Part 7 - page 85 - "<span
class="st">Farther toward Green, a young woman named Vaughan
Kaprow, shivering in the evening cold, began </span><em>holding
space</em><span class="st"> for another organization that
had a special greeting for Billy Graham — the Pasadena
Women's Liberation Group.</span>"<br>
<br>
1973 - A Paper about Leibniz's Philosophy which looks at space
differently, "<i>holding space</i> to be relational."<br>
<br>
1973 - the Michigan Library talked about "holding space" for
sign ups for tickets (flights to New York), similar to the
holding space for slots in a talent show in 1953.<br>
<br>
<span class="st">1976 - Ecology - Volume 57, Issues 1-3 - Page
286: "Porter (1974) speculated that the high degree of
coexistance on Caribbean reefs is due to a "balance of
abilities" divided among the Caribbean corals, such that no
one species is competitively superior in acquiring and </span><em>holding
space</em><span class="st">."</span><br>
<br>
1976 - The Philosophy of Kant Explained - Page 89 - <span
class="st">"It is thus obvious that we can only explain how
we can have legitimate a priori synthetic judgments in
geometry by </span><em>holding space</em><span class="st">
as</span>..."<br>
<br>
1977 - Object Relations Family Therapy - Page 72 - " <span
class="st">the family therapist gets transference
information from the interactions in the shared </span><em>holding
space</em><span class="st"> of the family."</span> Still a
noun.<br>
<br>
1977 - All quiet on the Eastern front: the death of South
Vietnam: "<span class="st">Time was a secondary dependent
variable, a function of our success in winning and </span><em>holding
space</em><span class="st">."</span><br>
<br>
1978 - <span class="st">BBC transcript - Many reasons why:
the American involvement in Vietnam - "it's because you're
holding this space in the territory of the rural areas. Also
you're </span><em>holding space</em><span class="st"> in
another sense altogether</span>"<br>
<br>
1979 - Arts Magazine - Volume 53, Issues 6-8: "Moss now opens
wide gaps in the grid, erasing large segments of the retaining
wall that had been holding space 'back'. A new spontaneity and
elasticity develops between color and field: an energy."<br>
<br>
1981 - Kant and the Transcendental Object - "<span class="st">And
to all these impressive reasons for </span><em>holding
space</em><span class="st"> and time to be phenomenal, Kant
adds the further reason that there are a great many
axiomatic principles which govern things in space and time,
which are not logically necessary, since ...</span><br>
<br>
1981 - Robert Nozick: Philosophical Explanations Page 83 - " <span
class="st">The word "I" might be the marker for the blank, </span><em>holding
space</em><span class="st"> in which the self can appear</span>."<br>
