2024 Session Description

Open Space Sessions
Got something you want to share? Here's your opportunity....

60 minutes  •  Daily at different times

Most of Mindcamp's sessions this year will develop through the Open Space methodology: a rich and dynamic experience that is instantly responsive to what is happening in the minds and bodies of all Mindcampers in the moment. (If you haven’t already experienced Open Space, you may feel skeptical, but get ready for a beautiful surprise!)

We’ll give a brief introduction to the Open Space Process after dinner on the first day (Monday). Then each day after the morning break, we’ll gather for an Open Space Marketplace, where people who have ideas for sessions will give a short description of what they’d like to do. That might be a presentation or a discussion or an experience.

We then post session descriptions on a wall and ask people to sign up for what interests them most. Based on the level of interest, we’ll assign meeting times (usually 90 minute slots) and spaces.

(If nothing strikes your fancy in a particular period, you can go for a swim, take a hike, explore the Labyrinth, or join a random conversation. It’s up to you.)
