I have been thinking of you since the tragedy in the Red Lake Nation. My heart goes out to you and to others in these communities. I would imagine that, rather than think of what to address...to just open some space, and as you know, all the right things will come into the circle and into the conversations. If it was possible I would give it 2 days, and yes, this will not be the only time people will need to come together. Possible theme: something like what Jack says, or...naming our experience...or finding words for what has happened and what can happen...or...? And invite everyone who wants to come, with a few rules of coverage for any media folks who may wish to attend, or closure to the media with the opportunity to come into the room post-event to take photos and record notes of the topics on the agenda wall, excerpts given from the Book of Proceedings, or whatever the community feels (as discussed in advance) is appropriate. And take good care of yourself, too, as you work to help others take care of their selves. You are in our thoughts, Lisa ___________________________ L i s a H e f t Consultant, Facilitator, Educator O p e n i n g S p a c e 2325 Oregon Berkeley, California 94705-1106 USA +01 510 548-8449 [email protected] www.openingspace.net * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
