Dear Agnieszka,
Smallest I have experienced was with 4, I believe that as lf the issue
at stake
has enouigh energy, it works - and this is clearlily the case from what
you describe.
As an example, I once facilitated an event for the alumni network of a
higher educational institution.
All teaching staff and all alumni were invited, a big room and
sufficient catering for everybody.
Everybody turned out to be the chairwoman (who had invited) and five
participants.
So she was quite depressed and wanted to cancel. I said "the people are
the right people", we'll have good discussions and a usefullmeeting, and
she went along - and we had a good meeting, with a clear conclusion: the
alumni organisation was ended.
This was not the end of the story - thechair went to the rector to
inform him, whereupon he said "our alumni association ? Our network of
ambassadors in society ....?" What does the director of the alumni
bureay say to this ?
When he found out there in act wasn't an alumni bureau, let alone a
director, he called an emergency meeting of the management, established
an alumni bureau and started a capmaign.
This is some years ago - I did learn to suggest to have participants
register to avoid wasting all too much coffee and sandwiches -

Hi :)
Here's a question: Is 6 people enough to make an Open Space session?
Next Saturday I'm going to facilitate a group that would benefit from
an OST (there's a conflict situation, no one knows the answer, people
who are extremely passionate are coming etc..)...
So far I have worked with much bigger groups but never tried it out
with such a small group...I'm eager to hear your opinions and ideas...
Agnieszka
