I have also used a Grafitti Wall with great results. It was for a gathering sponsored by St. Joseph's Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington. They are in the Hilltop area, a neighborhood that, for a while was on the national news because of the frequency of drive-by shootings. The OS had social service providers and neighborhood residents focused on "Building a Healthy Hilltop Community". We titled a blank mural "Our picture of a Healthy Hilltop", provided colored markers and invited people to paint the picture as they envisioned it. Throughout the day, the image blossomed. By the end, the mural was so stunning that the hospital hung it in a public place in their building.

Obviously the person needs to be of the right tone (just as the facilitation of the OS itself)
