I did groan when I saw the ‘twist’. Often a twist makes something unbalanced or broken.
There is always a certain kind of pressure from clients to have an agenda. They don’t appreciate that it works better without and mostly because they haven’t experienced it. Some facilitators feel a compromise is the answer and again often it is worse because it becomes neither one thing nor the other. Open Space for me, works best in its organic, non-gmo state, without icing or spice just human breath. warm wishes to you, Harrison, from a very cold London.
