birgitt-jan, salam!
I just want to say that I'm delighted that this workshop is being offered. And
as a Genuine Contact trainer who has had the good fortune of taking a number of
workshops with you, I think those who take this workshop with you and the rest
of the Dalar team will be exceedingly fortunate.
I've thought of the perspective you offer in working with OST and other
participatory approaches as highly complementary to what is in the User's
Guide. If Harrison is the storyteller, you are- in my mind- the doulah. Both
are needed.
We need the story to inspire and encourage and we need to access the doulah
within to understand perhaps what is the container we are creating at all
stages of the process and how to create that container.
I've felt that even if one were- for whatever reason- to disagree with
everything that is presented in the workshop it'll still be well worth the
time. There are so many subtle questions that the User's Guide can only hint at
(to be clear, i personally think the User's Guide is a brilliant book, much
there to be emulated in how one presents a social technology). And what the GC
approach offers, i believe, is a simple framework from which a facilitator can
make wise and compassionate choices (i think without a workshop like the one
you're offering we may not even realize the choices that we are making!) along
the way in the course of planning, etc in service to the whole.
Having "taught" OST the GC way a number of times, I remember what one
participant said of the workbook people received-- "How to do OST? It's all in
there."
