I am Open, we are Space. I want you to join me and the others as a Network of People who host open space in their lives to create with me a monthly open space for the eastern hemisphere. I call it to be a two-hour OS event on the second Saturday of February (11th.) I will be in Iceland by then and a time of 7am (UTC+0) for me would be ok, this would be 8pm in Auckland's summertime, and 11pm in Portland (but the day before).

Welcome to our Intro-workshop about Five to Fold decision making - a powerful to co-create group decisions - that unite./Thomas Herrmann

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An experiential 2 + 1 hour workshop

What

This online workshop gives you the basic information which enables you to start using 5toFold (Five-to-Fold decision-making) right away. Participants receive a 2-page guide that guides them step-by-step through the 5toFold process:

You will explore this unique decision-making process,
how it can be applied in your individual situation,
and you come out with clarity about your next step.

When

The next public Intro to 5toFold workshop dates to choose from:

We suggest that you also attend a Follow-up meeting two weeks later. This will help you move from theoretical understanding to practical experience. You get to learn from the experiences of your fellow participants as well:

Thanks again for the follow up, I liked it a lot. It gave me a deeper understanding of the difference between decision making, creating commitment and role clarity.
Mariëlle Cuijpers, Netherlands

For Whom

For everyone who desires to build a culture of respect, collaboration, engagement and sustainable impact. Especially for those who initiate projects, have a leadership position or facilitate team meetings.

You can use 5toFold in business organizations, in non-profit organizations, in conscious communities, schools, even with your family and friends.
This is for you, if you desire to

Co-create a culture of trust

Have true buy-in from the people you collaborate with

Invite diversity and bring out the genius in people (instead of their resistance)

Complete projects successfully (instead of starting enthusiastically and then see people disengage along the way)

5toFold is a collaborative decision-making process, meaning it is applicable in situations where a decision is not made top down, but by a group of people together.

It is especially suited for purpose-centered teams and organizations.

5toFold creates space for high quality conversations with all voices being heard. It is clearly structured and efficient. It can be used in-person or online.

I have been using 5toFold with my family.
It is rewarding, fun and actually brings us closer together. When everyone is heard, feels respected and realizes that we all have an equal say, equal power and equal responsibility, it strengthens us both, as individuals and as a family/community.
Olov

Why

Have you ever made a decision with a group, but afterwards people had different (at times even conflicting) memories of what (if anything) had been decided?

Have you heard people make suggestions ("we could..."), but then neither bring proposals forward nor act on them?

Instead, using 5toFold leads to clarity about

How to bring a proposal to a group in a safe way

Who will take leadership to actually move it forward

The commitment to implement the decision by all participants.

5toFold processes may result in well-founded disagreement (instead of hidden resistance). Then, after revising, the proposal is often met with excitement and full support by all!

5toFold gives people the opportunity to voice their objections in a contained form early on (instead of sabotaging a decision afterwards by non-action). Objections are often valuable and can be used to improve a proposal.

5toFold is an effective and powerful way for both: major, complex decisions as well as fast day-to-day decisions. 5toFold helps you to build trust, foster individual responsibility and access the wisdom of the whole group. With each decision being made, alignment with personal and organizational purpose is strengthened.

5toFold leads to sustainable decisions, followed by action.

Who

This workshop will be facilitated by Marai Kiele /Germany and Thomas Herrmann /Sweden, who are dedicated to sharing this process in the world.

How much

We believe 5toFold is a precious gift to the world and of great service to humanity. We are dedicated to making it widely accessible.

Your financial contribution is 149 EURO. This includes the online workshop, our 2-page guide, a follow up meeting and a one hour mentoring session with Marai or Thomas to support your ongoing journey with 5toFold.

If after this workshop you have the genuine desire to contribute in more ways to the project of sharing 5toFold in this world, we will be happy to receive your contribution. There are a variety of ways to do so:

You can

Spread the word about 5toFold to someone you value and invite them to take the Intro workshop

Introduce us to someone who may want to do an interview with us or feature 5toFold in some way

Or... anything that you creatively come up with yourself. 🙂

You can also contribute to our mission of liberating life-force by making a financial donation to a cause that we care about:

by David G. Haskell

This sonic journey written and narrated by David G. Haskell brings us to the beginning of sound and song on planet Earth. The experience is made entirely of tiny trembling waves in air, the fugitive, ephemeral energy that we call sound. Spoken words combined with terrestrial sounds invite our senses and imaginations to go outward into an experience of the living Earth and its history. How did the vast and varied chorus of modern sounds-from forest to oceans to human music-emerge from life's community? When did the living Earth first start to sing? We invite you on a journey into deep time and deep sound that will open your ears and your imagination.
We recommend that you listen with good headphones if you can. Let your ears experience, explore, and enjoy in an open-ended way.

"Let’s find ways to celebrate life. We seem to be so preoccupied with issues and problems and solutions...are we seeing the sunrise and the sunset and being awed by that and appreciating it? Are we appreciating the productivity of the earth and how it supports all life? Are we seeing rain and water as such a marvelous being in our lives and what it does for us? There are millions of opportunities for  appreciation and gratitude of just being alive, are we tuned in and plugged in? I don't think we can solve issues unless we have an appreciation for life and a deep, deep appreciation for life. We have our senses, we can see things, we can hear things, we can touch, these are all opportunities for reverence, for a full life, in spite of the problems and issues, life is a major event, is it a major event in your life, in our lives? [long silence] That’s what I have to offer…" Bill Bilodeau (2018 OSPHP)

Below is the poem that ConRAD Neblett shared during Harrison Owen's session
Jan 14, 2023.

Title: If I Could See Through Your Eyes

If I could see through your eyes
If I could feel through your pain
If I could understand your world
I wonder who I would BE
How would I then see YOU?
How would I then see ME?
Would the lens I see through be different?
Would that affect my life?
I wonder if there would be a cosmic shift in   the world?
A transformational birth of my  understanding of you and your  understanding of me?  I Wonder?

I faced being in a bubble before I knew I was in one, and when it burst (lost my marriage mind and more), there was life on the other side of the bubble more significant and meaningful than I could even know. It's a painful process. We don't have to go through it, but I think we all do. Like conversations with 8 billion people.

We have bubbles to burst.
