“(Open Space) is one of my favorite methodologies in the world because it is so radical. It really allows people to follow their passion and responsibility. It breaks up a lot of these social norms we have… you can invite a conversation – spontaneously, without being prepared for it – you can share knowledge, you can ask for knowledge. Open Space mixes it all up… which really allows for emergence, allows for new things that were there to come forth and be created.” – Maya Rimer
