4 Principles of Open Spaces
Whoever comes are the right people.
Whenever it starts, it starts.
Whenever it is over, it is over.
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
You are responsible for your own happiness today. Go where you feel your own passion. If you really want to talk about a particular topic or learn about a particular thing it is your responsibility to post it - there is no complaining at the end of the day that something you wanted to talk or hear about didn’t happen - you get to put in on the wall and invite it to happen.

The Open Spaces Law
The Law of Two Feet
If your mind starts to wander, let your feet follow. Go where you are learning or contributing.
This is a very emergent process: Be prepared to be surprised.
Maybe you host a session and no one comes to join you. This is an excellent opportunity to
reflect yourself on the topic. At one of our events, an attendee was absolutely giddy with the idea that she might have an hour to just reflect on something instead of being in action mode. Maybe that is fitting for you too.
