I have been giving a lot of thought to this topic of multiple-facilitators. I have co-convened for two years of Spirited Work and I was part of a large group of convenors for the Seattle Practice of Peace. I am living in to my ideas about this topic and will post something in a few days when I have more time to work on how I present my thinking. . . . this topic is very important to me.
But in the meantime I wanted to quickly respond to Wendy's bit of yearning for a supportive co-facilitator: I want to belong to a flock of OS practitioners and I don't ever want to open space as the sole OS practitioner. I want my homies. Two of my important mentors both insisted that they would never work alone. Kathie Dannemiller told me a thousand times if she told me once that she would never facilitate alone and if a client was only willing to pay for one consultant, they would split the fee but they would not work alone. I have mentioned before that I do not understand how it came to pass that so many OS practitioners hold space alone without at least one other goose or, maybe, a homie.
