Hi, Harold! This is important. I've also encountered it as a gender bias issue--if you're wearing a short skirt or dress, you might not want to bend over in front of the group, and so you'll feel uncomfortable about fully participating.
My easy solution: If it's a seated opening, I reserve one chair in the innermost circle of chairs. I put paper and markers on that chair, as well as on the floor. When I show people how to share a session idea, I model it using the paper and marker on the chair so everyone knows they don't have to get down on the floor. What have other people done? -- Richard Kasperowski Read my blog <http://kasperowski.com/>, the Core Protocols book <http://gr8p.pl/corebookrk>, and the Manifesto for Greatness <http://gr8p.pl/gguild>, and join me at upcoming <http://gr8p.pl/rkevents>events <http://gr8p.pl/rkevents>!
