what wonderful images, Joelle, and so valid from my experience - i've often been asked how i remember everything i say in the opening and can only put it down to this 'rehearsal' which is as much about my 'being' in the space as it is about the words i use...i hadn't twigged that i do a lot of walking in my mind as well as physically before an OS event -
also - i just love my butterflies now - and really feel comfortable with their presence and the energy which flows from them....thanks for the gift - i hope too for Wendy and Fred'rc that you discover how precious the nervous stomach is on the journey... with peace and blessings on yourselves and your event Brendan At 01:03 AM 18-06-02 -0400, you wrote:

Her solution was to pace in the room while she warmed up her voice, and I have find that useful for Open Space as well. In fact, I walk quite a bit in the couple of days before an event, feeling my own grounding and meditating on the coming meeting. You will find your own style, of course! Enjoy!
