Alan-- I usually have clients include the general theme of the OS in the invitation they send out. And I sometimes include a couple of questions which help to establish the territory we will cover--but not usually the main question which is asked in the opening, as I know that we may change our minds about the exact focus as the time comes closer. I might try to find a couple of sample questions which expand the territory a bit beyond what people expect.
I can appreciate your concern about how to encourage spontaneity. My observation is that people who want to post a session are not much deterred by how I have framed the question; the issues which want to come forward will come forward, whatever I say is the theme. Not sure how much this helps, but I am sure you will be able to find what is appropriate.
