It works just like usual. The only "problem" is that being "totally present and absolutely invisible" as the facilitator becomes more difficult. But definitely possible. Just make yourself "small." I once had a group that was supposed to be 20 and 5 actually showed up (snow storm). I offered to cancel, and they said go for it. We did. It was wonderful. The 5 met in every permutation of 5 you can think of. The dynamics were precisely the same as with a group of 1000. The scale was a little different. I discovered that the wonderful thing about self organization in a fractal world is that it is all holographic. Even the smallest "piece" replicates the largest (piece). Have fun. I know you will.

Originally there were 30-50 people expected; however, moving the venue to Maui has shrunk the attendee list to ten or less. I'm very experienced doing OS's with between 40-150, and once had a great one with only 15 people. I know that the structure will hold - but I'm wondering if anyone else has any specific tips, advice, or techniques for Very Small Open Spaces? Gratefully, Gray Miller
