<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in
10pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">How
does Open Space Technology help us experience harmony,
wholeness?<span> </span>This may well be the
most ineffable idea in today’s busy world.<span> </span>Life
seems to present moments of such harmoniousness and we
may notice them when they happen and then forget them.<span>
</span>They don’t get highlighted as something
possible on any dependable scale, so they get passed over,
dismissed as a
“nice” experience but most likely we don’t share them.<span>
</span>However, the artists among us will
capture them through their medium. We love the feelings this
work gives us,
this reminder of those numinous realities. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in
10pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">What
happens in OST?<span> </span>What are those realities we
experience more often than
not while participating in a concentrated time around an
invitation question,
an urgency, a group of people sitting in circle, creating an
agenda and sitting with questions, getting to deeper ones?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in
10pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">I
believe OST is micro of a macro reality that life’s
organism ways provide for us in every moment.<span> </span>“Come
to the circle, tell us your tale, you are not the only
one who is hurting.”<span> </span>This phrase
from a song written in the 80s by a friend, speaks of the
power of OST.<span> </span>There is something so powerful
about
being reminded, you get to choose how and where and when you
give your
attention.<span> </span>It has been called an antidote
to the world of hierarchical dominating meetings, work life
and organizationally
dead structures. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in
10pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">So
I say, I want to capture the ineffable, but how silly
that is.<span> </span>And yet, we can point to
shared experience, to knowledge that goes beyond words, to
celebrate this most
amazing, awe-generating process abiding in living structures,
living “becoming”
events that are <i>alivenmaking</i>.<span> </span>Let’s
listen for the harmonies, for the
moments of felt sensing our wholeness, our unity, and our
differences at the
same time.<span> </span>This is a “both and
world,” not an “either/or” one.<span> </span>It
takes work only in that we remember what we can easily forget
with distractions
and constant “busy-ness.”<span> </span>Notice
when those moments of peacefulness enter into the “field” when
we take a long
breath and let it out fully, sitting with one another without
needing to fix or
change ourselves, or the other. What are your experiences of
“fulfillment” of
listening in to deep knowledge of being alive? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in
10pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">One
OST participant spoke of it as something one cannot talk
about, but to experience it is to have lived, feeling
aliveness and we want it
more and more. Then we want others to have the experience so
we try to talk
about it.<span> </span>I say, “Come to the
Circle, tell us your tale, you are not the only one who is
hurting.” <span> </span><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in
10pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">The
storyteller tells his tales and we remember those times
his stories happened in our lives, or we make sense of a story
we have not
understood about our tale. Then we begin again with a new
story.<span> </span>Keep coming to the circle, telling us
your tales, one and all.<span> </span></p>
