[Sviannouncements] Open Space Meeting Facilitation at Moonshadow

[ashley ironwood]

Open Space Technology Meeting Facilitation

Sequatchie Valley Institute makes its facilities available to groups  
or board meetings and offers meeting facilitation using Open Space  
Technology.  SVI has several spaces appropriate for large groups and  
plenty of beautiful spaces available for break out groups in its  
idyllic 300 acre forested mountainside conference center.

Open Space is a simple way to run productive meetings, and is a  
powerful tool to lead any kind of organization in everyday practice  
and transformative change.  It has proven to be a powerful tool to  
revitalize any organization, bringing out passion and creativity from  
participants.  It has been used widely in many countries by thousands  
of groups and institutions.  SVI has used Open Space in our own  
visioning, and we are excited to make this service available to  
interested groups.

"some changes may look negative on the surface, but you will soon  
realize that space is being created in your life for something new to  
emerge.  there may be a period of insecurity and uncertainty.  what  
should i do?  as the ego is no longer running your life, the  
psychological need for external security, which is illusory anyway,  
lessens.  you're able to live with uncertainty - even enjoy it.  when  
you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open  
up in your life.  it means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what  
you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate  
change.  the roman philosopher, tasitus, rightly observed that 'the  
desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.'   
if uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear.  if it's  
perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness and  
creativity."
eckhart tolle - chapter 9 of "a new earth"
