<div dir="ltr">Peggy...your work is always on the leading edge and important. I love that one of your current commitments is to journalism that matters and that you are making good use of OST at conferences for positive and productive change to be 'seeded' with results that while currently unknown, will make a difference.<div><br></div><div>I remember great conversations in which we often held differing perspectives and at the end of the conversations, inclusive of others who were gathered, we all came out richer for allowing our differences and diversity to result in a greater whole. My life was deeply enriched. I remember sitting on the floor in Anne Stadler's living room (there may have been wine) and you sharing your thoughts about the relationships of divergence, convergence, emergence. I came from the perspective of divergence -->emergence-->convergence. You came from the perspective of divergence-->convergence-->emergence. You were right. Both of us of course realized it was a non-linear process. It simply made for an expansive conversation to simplify. I remember fondly even way back then your passion about emergence. Your book Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity is on our recommended reading list. When you published it, my heart smiled at how you took your passion for emergence and continued running with it to the benefit of us all.</div><div><br></div><div>Your points about what is likely to happen from convening Open Space create a picture of great hope for humanity. As Harrison has said from the beginning, OST works...every time. I agree. </div><div><br></div><div>I continue on my own decades long exploration of how to create the conditions for the outcomes you speak of and more to have their best chance of success after an OST meeting...or after any opening of space by any means. I understand that if the OST is a single event such as at a conference of peers who are not in a formal organization together, going forward with desired results has a clearer path than when a space is opened in an organization and the good feeling/outcomes crash right into existing barriers. I began my writing on this topic in 1994 with a letter to Harrison that he kindly published as a chapter in Tales From Open Space....a book well worth reading for examples of how OST works. </div><div><br></div><div>I like that we have the space on this list to have differing perspectives and different focuses of our work based on our common love and appreciation for OST.</div><div><br></div><div>Sent with hugs,</div><div>Birgitt </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Feb 19, 2017 at 2:08 PM Peggy Holman via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="gmail_msg">As Birgitt already said, it’s what happens in the long run that makes Open Space so profoundly and subversively powerful.

Plus those actions are often ambitious and cross traditional silos so they can take some time to ramp up.</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">A recent example. Because we’re planning a second journalism and community engagement convening in partnership with the Agora Journalism Center, I’ve recently been in touch with a number of folks who attended Journalism That Matters' October 2015 convening. A remarkable number of them have told me variations of “it changed the work I’m doing” or “it changed the way I do my work”. One tangible example: a journalism professor who has a class that does a quarterly student magazine approached the issue by reaching out to the public - students and others - to explore the topic and how to cover it BEFORE planning the issue. So their work was informed by what people wanted to know. They hosted another public gathering after the issue came out to learn how people were using the stories to make a difference.</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">Anyway, the gist of what I’m saying is Open Space convenings can be life changing for individuals, organizations and communities.
