Dear Joelle, this is exciting stuff stirred up by you and others and the fellow from the extreme western part of Europe! In my short life as an "open space-facilitator" after some 30+ years of doing all kinds of facilitation, including trying to get a hold of "the place where we needed to be", I have been struggling with not creating space for what is (I perceive is) needed. Experience from this practice slowly evolving is that I get a feeling of the powers of selforganisation. I would love to hear more on this. non virtual hugs in Denmark mmp
