I have never seen a group get so deep so fast and understand the benefits of the open space process. Think that it was helpful that we book ended the event with services, led by several of the senior participants and sponsors. We also had an opening evening, get to know each other, where each participant reflected on the question "tell us a story about when you have had an unanticipated surprise or blessing". That helped people get in the right mood and intention so that when we kick off the open space they went right to work.</div><div><br>On Sep 19, 2016, at 11:48 AM, Nick Heap via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Hi All</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I was wondering if anyone has used Open Space to facilitate Interfaith dialogue. It might be between people of different faiths or between people working with those of different faiths (or both).

We're at the beginning of thinking about it, so any experience or ideas you have would be very useful.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I've had a quick search of the archive but found nothing relevant. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Best wishes, </span><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">
