Hi all, Having just come from playing a support role in an OST event, the question of co-facilitation was also in my mind. I took on the support role with the intention of service. Service to the facilitator (Chris), to support him in holding space, and service to the participants to support them in their journey in Open Space. With that experience behind me, as I contemplate facilitating my first OST event (which is on the horizon), I find that I am wanting to create a support team who understand Open Space and who will help to maintain the continuum or field of experience for the participants. I understand that it is not necessary for successful OST facilitation, but I am wondering if it is worth experimenting to see if there is a qualitative difference for the participants and/or the facilitator--a deepening, I suppose. I guess I am seeing a tandem approach to facilitation, where one facilitator takes on the "face time" as Harrison put it, while the other provides support--at the wall, at the computer stations--wherever presence can arise to open more space. Thoughts?
