Dear all, and happy new year.
Below is a link to an experiment in "walking open space" I am involved with
in the UK, beginning in January. I'll paste the description here with the
link at the end to the full thing.
I am interested to know if anyone has done something like this before and
what your experiences were...

Join us for an Intelligence Walk...
Our thinking often flows most effectively when we move our feet. I love to
walk by the sea in my home city of Brighton in the UK. Currently I am
thinking most about intelligence, especially within the context of the rise
of Artificial Intelligence.
What is natural intelligence and how does it relate to artificial
intelligence (AI)?
How do we develop our own intelligence and what are its unique role and
value ? Indeed, does our natural intelligence have unique value at all in
the world of rising AI?
How is our intelligence being impacted, even changed by AI?
How is our intelligence superior or inferior to AI and does that matter?
What are the risks and opportunities afforded by AI?
How do we meet the emergence of generative AI?
If you live in Brighton or nearby in the UK, join me for one of my seaside
walks. Every two weeks during 2024, I will be creating the regular rhythm
of a seaside walk, starting at Brighton’s Pier and heading either east or
west.
East will take us to Rottingdean with a halfway cafe stop at Ovingdean
Beach, ending at Molly’s, the lovely cafe in Rottingdean (home of the cream
tea).
West takes us to the Brighton Eye before ending at the Flour Pot on First
Avenue.
Each walk will be based on an invitational theme (posted here). There is no
charge. We might explore intelligence, AI and consciousness, Generative AI
and our kids, how AI can help or harm the business world. AI and human
health. AI and the quest for meaning and purpose. If the topic draws you
in, then join us for that walk.
There will be plenty of opportunity to take the conversation wherever you
want.
We will set out, stop halfway and then come together for final discussion,
reflection and lookahead at our destination cafe. A chance to share
intelligence and wisdom, questions and insight using the flow of a walk (Or
a roll if you are in a wheelchair).
We will use a simple, minimal method to organise our conversation. It is
called Open Space Technology.
We meet together before we set out, having decided to join the walk because
the overall topic invite interests us. Then we’ll invite anyone present to
join us on the way to explore a specific aspect of that topic – a further
theme, question, challenge, whatever we want to explore.
Then we set off. There may be people walking on their own because they are
the only one exploring that aspect of the topic. We may walk in pairs or in
a small group. Go where your energy takes you. Follow your feet or your
nose.
We come together at the halfway point, grab a cuppa and there is a chance
to issue new invitations for walking conversation. So, there are two rounds
of conversation. There can be more for whoever joins us on the way back.

We arrive at our final destination and join together to share the results
of our various conversations. So we begin with an informal opening circle
where we introduce ourselves and whoever wants to can offer an invite to a
walking conversation with them. We set off towards our halfway point,
revisit the emerging agenda and then head off to our final destination
before ending in our closing circle. We create the agenda together. We
self-organise the conversation.
You might notice this happens and it is fine if it does. Whenever it starts
is the right time. Whoever comes are the right people. Whatever happens,
happens. Wherever it happens is the right place. And be mobile – step in,
step away, move to wherever you need to be at any time. That is the essence
of open space,
I look forward to seeing you on one of our Intelligence Walks.
Paul Levy
If the weather is bad the walk is not cancelled. But full details will
appear here and we will announce the end destination cafe anyway.
Dates for the year will appear here. Here is the first one…
When: Wednesday 17th January 2024, 9am, finish at 11am
Where: Meet at the Brighton Pier entrance
Theme: What is happening or needs to happen at the threshold of human and
artificial intelligence?
Cost: Free

What a great idea, Paul!
I wonder if I could start something like this in my area...
We could then share our experiences. Anyone else willing to do this?
Thank you for sharing this inspiration with us!
Let's have a Year 2024 full of Wonder!

What a fun idea Paul!
Annick, I hope you find some local folks to join you.
Paul, you asked if something like this has been done before. Years ago, a group of friends were in a caravan of three cars from San Francisco to Seattle. They put an “agenda wall” on the dash of one car using post-its and swapped every hour or two for their different conversations.
I talked to them when they arrived in Seattle. They had rave reviews for their “mobile Open Space”.
It doesn’t have the ongoing rhythm you describe. But it came to mind when I read your invitation.
Do let us know how it goes.

If I'm thinking of the same folks, Peggy, they drove Portland to Seattle
and then Seattle to SAN DIEGO in 2005. OS all the way. When they got to
their conference, they wrote "Ask me about Open Space" on their nametags
and started inviting people to post topics on a hallway wall they took
over. The organizers came to them begging them not to wreck their nicely
organized, juried papers, first annual, global conference -- and invited
them to facilitate OS at the conference the following year. They had an OS
track for at least five more years and then the record gets harder to find,
but the last mention of OS track was 2017. Quite the road trip!
That same year, I had a bunch of participants snowed out of Aspen,
Colorado, who then had to drive up from Denver in large vans. We texted or
phoned the topics from the wall, to discuss on the ride up.
Wherever it happens...
Have fun, Paul!

Yup, Michael you’re right. That’s the trip. To paraphrase our friend, Harrison, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.
(Unfortunately, that idea has been taken in disturbing directions in recent years. But that is an entirely different story. )
