Christy-- In an Open Space conference last summer, one young woman walked in, looked around, and announced "I'm not sittin' in no circle!"
Then she put her things on a chair, got a cup of coffee, and sat down in the circle of chairs. And she was a very active participant all day, too. Lovely to have a choice! The issue of choice in school programs where the course or meeting is required is a tough one. I opened space for a graduate-school program, and they had struggled with this issue. In the end, everyone came, but some admitted that they had not felt they had a real choice in the decision.
