Off to an Open Space wedding

June 22, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized 7 Comments

Off to Chicago to celebrate the life partnership of friends Michael Herman and Jill Perkins. I’m looking forward to a weekend of fun and merriment and celebration of these two people. I have had the pride and pleasure to work with Michael for five years now on some amazing projects in Open Space, including an important summit in Alaska in 2002, to co-editing of the Open Space Technology Users NON-Guide, the Giving Conference in 2004 and practice workshops all over the place. I met Jill at the Gioving Conference in 2004 and have rarely laughed so hard with someone. She …

Working with young global leaders

June 19, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Youth 2 Comments

I spent part of Father’s Day yesterday working with one of the youth PODs at the World Urban Forum along with some friends like sara kendall..  We spent part of the morning in a circle, using a talking piece to discuss what should be in a final statement from the youth to the World Urban Forum leaders.  The blog for the Youth leadership POD should have some of the final reflections. In the room we had 50 youth from every continent, all of them investigating ways of engaging youth on the local, regional, national and global levels.  What struck me was how …

Chaordic organizing in real life.

June 16, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Collaboration, Learning, Open Space, Organization, Practice, Unschooling 3 Comments

Kevin Kelly on the meaning of Wikipedia, from Edge.org The bottom-up hive mind will always take us much further that seems possible. It keeps surprising us. In this regard, the Wikipedia truly is exhibit A, impure as it is, because it is something that is impossible in theory, and only possible in practice. It proves the dumb thing is smarter than we think. At that same time, the bottom-up hive mind will never take us to our end goal. We are too impatient. So we add design and top down control to get where we want to go. That is …

Brian Swimme on waking up

June 15, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Stories 2 Comments

Brian Swimme on what happens when human societies confront situations for which we do not have a deep narrative:   The point is that we haven’t been prepared to understand what an extinction event is. We’ve had all these great teachers. We’ve had tremendously intelligent people, going back through time, but you can look, for example, through all the sutras or Plato’s dialogues, and they never talk about an extinction. As a matter of fact, I don’t think that Plato or the Buddha were even capable of imagining an extinction. First of all, at that time we weren’t aware of evolution. …
