what does the field want from us?
My understanding of open space is that it is an energy field, with its own
vibratory signature. Open Space Technology helps us to experience this open
space of creation, of Creator. When we acknowledge the Open Space
Technology meeting, we acknowledge a vibratory field, an energy field. The
acknowledgement brings this field to our awareness. We don't create it, we
acknowledge it. The possibilities that are in that field are our learning
playground. We choose our play. We reap the benefits of our choices.
This perspective of Open Space Technology assists me in understanding that
the space that I am aware of for the meeting is in place long before the
meeting from the moment of the intention of having the meeting, and is in
place long after the meeting limited only when the people involved stop
being aware of the vibratory field.
This perspective affects my work with Open Space Technology, allowing me to
draw my attention to the space from the moment of intention, and allowing
me to pay attention to the space long after the OST meeting has its
'closing circle'.
"What does the field want from us?" is a question I learned from Anne
Stadler. In my work, I pay attention to my internal guidance about what the
field wants from us, and from me?
I no longer use concepts of 'opening space' and 'holding space'.
It is a true blessing to continue working with Open Space Technology. I
have experienced so many amazing results from Open Space Technology
meetings these last thirty years. A significant one for me is my own
development and expansion.

WOW Birgit, This is just what I need right now!
It resonates so much with me, but I could not have made the words
myself. THANK YOU!
I have an online group about CoCreation. We have the exact same idea: to
create together with the field, the universe or God (whatever we call
it) - and I have many times had the thought of Open Space, but now is
the first time I see so clearly the space of open space as the field. I
am very grateful!
love,
Lise from Copenhagen

Hi Birgitt,
Such great wisdom. "Holding space" and "Opening space" have indeed
seemed unwieldy and too clunky to describe what's happening, what we're
doing, and yes, taking too much credit. Saying we face it, acknowledge
it, seems more accurate. And how appropriate to ask what the field wants
from us.
Since you mentioned Anne Stadler, I'll piggy back to say we had a great
conversation with her about the origins of Open Space that we just
published on YouTube. Being with her wisdom has always been a blessing.
I'm also very grateful for yours. Thank you for continuing to share that
wisdom, Birgitt.
