In honor of Colin Morley, who died in the London bombings on July 7, I have decided to collect your reflections on how Open Space Technology can be considered a spiritual practice.
OST is a simple method of organizing--or should I say not-organizing?--meetings that has been used for everything from product design to conflict resolution. Its primary discoverer, Harrison Owen, has said that people of many different spiritual traditions have told him that OST is consistent with the teachings of their own tradition. So what's going on? Is it possible that OST expresses and distils the teachings of many different faiths, in a way that might help us all to work and play together with more trust and love and better communication?
I invite you to contribute here your own experience of how OST:
- helps you (or your group) develop spiritually, or
- reflects the teachings of your spriritual tradition.
To do this, just click on "Comments" below. Please give specific examples, if you can, and a quotation from a spiritual text or teacher would also be great.
Ultimately, I will compile all these and see what we've got. Thank you!
