Subject: Re: [OSList] advice?

I just want to tell that I opened the space for about 90 min. with the theme 
suggested by Harrison. It worked out great! 3 groups had good conversations, 
and they took a lot of initiatives to be followed up by themselves.

Before this I used the "cycle  of sorrow" and let them point out their place in 
it. Most of them placed themselves in the letting go - reframing area, one in 
acceptance. Afterwards I laid out a stone, and invited whomever wanted to 
sheare his og her story about own process, to pick it up and be in focus for a 
while. Two people did this, and I believe they really invested in the group.

all the best from Hege
