Lindsey,
I have never been to Oshry's workshops. I highly recommend his books.
This one was available in bookstores a few years ago: Seeing Systems:
Unlocking the Mysteries of Organizational Life. Barry Oshry. San
Francisco: Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 1995. ISBN: 1-881052-73-7.
Seeing Systems is one of my all-time favorite books about organizations.
Woven through the book is a detailed description of some of the events and
dynamics of one of the workshops (or perhaps an amalgam of many
workshops). I highly recommend it.
One way to get more information about Seeing Systems is from Oshry's
organization:
Power & Systems, Inc.
P.O. Box 990288
Prudential Station
Boston MA 02199-0288 USA
Phone: +1 (617) 437-1640
E-mail: BOSHRY18@aol.com
(I got this contact information from page 208 of Seeing Systems.)
I also highly recommend Oshry's other books, available directly from
Power & Systems:
Space Work
In the Middle
The Possibilities of Organization
Regards,
Dale
