Harrison-- It seems to me you have invented a different way to conclude OST. I think there are 3 ways that are talked about here on the list:
1. Convergence (the first way). 2. Reopening the space for action planning (Chris Corrigan's way). 3. Opening breathing room (for times of shock). So we have a fork in the OST road, and (no) surprise--we have choices! It seems to me that opening space is something everybody should be able to do--and indeed we all do it all the time. In other words, there are no experts keeping the secrets to themselves. Yet this last one seems to be in the secret tool bag of the practitioner. Is it not known to all of us that when there is a fire in the circle, we must stop what we are doing and evacuate the room? (Or something on that order?) So, how do we, when do we, tell our people about it, share it with the world? This one needs to be explored further, and the learning shared, yes? :-Doug.
