Yes, I agree. I think what I was trying to evoke here was that
within some context there has to be unregulated participation.
People need to be able to feel spontaneous and creative. I don't
think this is in conflict with a talking stick circle, Open Space
structure or any other thoughtful process container. I am holding an
internal dialog here with seeing process as needing to hold a
creative tension between order and chaos, structure and freedom.

Kenoli--
Your list is evocative to me. Thank you for collecting all these things in
one place. It is important to have, and I shall keep it as a checklist for
myself.
One place I would differ with you, slightly, is the notion of "unregulated
participation."
My experience is that regulation is sometimes helpful, as in what I call a
Listening Stick Circle. This is similar to what is sometimes done in OST,
with the caveat that the person with the stick is the one being listened
to, and others will listen deeply, without interruption or comment. This,
in my experience, has helped the flow of Spirit, or at least gotten out of
its way when it decided to show up.
