BRIGHT LIGHT



I picked this video from @SunniBrown on Twitter. First thought was just wooow. Then, as ever, I realized there are always more faces on every reality. Reading the comments always is educating. It´s people who owns the knowledge. Each one has a part of the truth. That is,in fact, the spirit of Open Space.

Some comments from youtube viewers...

If any video deserves to go viral, this is it. Please share with everyone you know. TheBillysabu

solar power with a plastic bottle... they live day by day just enjoying life... thinking of other ways to live a natural life... todokiki

love this! love it! - to bad it is pepsi caps all over it     pzest
solar bottle skylight or the like, or look at the related videos for this. It works! They sell commercial products called Solar Tubes that do the same thing for a lot of money. ke6gwf
Of course part of it is also "clever" filming. If you got a camera you will know, that on film dark areas look even darker and filming any bright spots makes them shine even brighter,... YanaFramework

ideas tan sencillas y maravillosas hacen pensar que sí se puede tener una vida sostenible. Pero lo mejor es tener ventanas y aire en las casas  androgynonatus

GAMESTORMING+DOODLING WORKSHOP (SUNNI BROWN). BILBAO: 22+23 Spt

Some months ago we were inspired with taking Sunni Brown to Bilbao to share a bit of her knowledge and her originality. Next week it´s coming true: on 22nd +  23th September she´ll be offering a 2 day workshop in Bilbao (just this opportunity in South Europe)...


DESCRIPTION:  Gamestorming your Workplace (A.k.a., How to Design and Run a Meeting using Words AND Pictures)


Since the vast majority of us have to either plan or attend meetings, why not become a Jedi at designing and running them? The simple but revolutionary techniques of visual thinking and gamestorming assure that your meeting not only doesn’t stink, but that you make the best use of everyone’s time and dramatically shorten the length of time in which you do it. The value of visual thinking and participatory design with a group is enormous and the benefits include...

  • Using a simple, shared visual language to increase understanding and information retention;
  • Applying improvisational discovery to keep participants engaged;
  • Mapping the big picture, solving problems and innovating as a team;
  • Creating visual meeting artifacts to drive decisions forward.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist or an artist of any caliber to learn how to design and lead better meetings. In this day-long workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of visual language, how to illuminate complexities by mapping the big picture and how to use improvisation and games to innovate and solve real problems. At the end of the workshop you’ll feel more confident about using visualization in meetings and you’ll recognize the power of doing so. So let the games begin!
OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this workshop, learners will be able to:
  • Recognize when to have a meeting (and when not to);
  • Design meeting agendas that move a group to a desired outcome;
  • Use games to support innovation and creative problem-solving;
  • Leverage techniques that lead to co-creation and team solutions;
  • Lead meetings, workshops, and group sessions comfortably using visual thinking and basic office supplies.
  • ...

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE


Aretha Franklin ACCENTUATING THE POSITIVE by (lyrics by Johnny Mercer / Harold Arlen). 
Thanks to Gail West for sharing this great song on the OSLIST


You've gotta accent-tcu-ate the positive, eli-my-nate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between.
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum.
Have faith or pandemonium's li'ble to walk upon the scene.
To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the Ark,
What did theyou do just when everything looked so dark,
Man, they said we better
Accent-tchu-ate the positive, elim-my-nate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between,
Don't mess with Mister In-between.
