I have been openspacing for about 10 years now and continue to receive the 'surprise' I was promised at the event with Harrison in Melbourne many many years ago. I have always found the opening circle special - a time for touching with the eyes and making contacts of many colours........ Feedback about the experience being powerful has always been spontaneous Recently I was openspacing with a group (89 people) from educational backgrounds who were excited about the OS experience. During the circle opening, there was something in my body that was telling WHAT? Nerves at being among so many highly educated people in one go? Could be. Then there was the rush to name and write passions, get out there and sign up, causing utmost chaos (and fun) at the wall. My initial feelings quietened and then it happened. I was confronted by two extremely disturbed participants - at first I wasn't picking up what they were saying. However the gist of it was about my walking around the circle. Both these people had been teachers of the deaf and were extremely upset that there were times when I was not facing them in particular, and IF I HAD deaf people in the group the circle would not be completely open. While the outcome was Ok and I think the issue wasn't really about persons who are deaf , just for interest I was wondering if anyone had openspaced with a deaf community?
