What does opening space mean?

  How do we open space in our daily life? This series explores different facets of opening spaces with special guests ready to share their wisdom. Our first guest, Mrs Anne M. Stadler, is a pioneer and fluent practioner of Open Space. She is based in the United States. 

Mrs. Anne M. Stadler, a pioneer and fluent practitioner of Open Space, shares about the 3 circles of

The Circle

 Anne is sharing wisdom as a mentor in the Open Space Technology (OST) community.  The 4 principles of OST are: 1) Whoever comes are the right people. 2) Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened. 3) When it starts is the right time. 4) When it's over, it's over! And there's a 5th one: Wherever it happens is the right place. There is only 1 law in Open Space Technology: The Law of 2 feet (the mobility law).  The online event mentioned in this conversation is Devoted & Disgruntled: https://www.devotedanddisgruntled.com/ 

The Law of Mobility (Law of two feet)

  Anne casts Open Space's Law of 2 Feet as walking in alignment to the call of love. "What do I love that I want to take responsibility for?" She captures the essence of what it means to hold space: "Love provides a frame for being held." She goes on with stories that model how she uses love to inform her work - how to listen so that you get to the heart of the matter. (Abstract written by Peggy Holman)

Open Space as a way of life

 A lovely reflection on living by the principles of Open Space. Stepping in with your heart, trusting that is natural, calls upon your true nature. Yes! ...   A settled knowing that you belong as an outcome of living by open space principles. And a sweet close on embracing loving the endings when things are over.  (Abstract written by Peggy Holman)
