Doug, I think we should resist resistance at all costs. :)
Truly, I think we can think of ourselves as following a flow rather than resisting a rock. Tightly held notions and expectations create resistance and interfere with surprises. To answer your question..... I think someone else mentioned posting topics at the first session, and then doing another brief opening each time you meet to give people an opportunity to post additional topics. A very nice "Yes, and...." kind of answer, seems to me. Julie > -----Original Message----- > From: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] On Behalf Of Douglas > D.
