Hi Listers Neutrality of the facilitator is tied to "holding the space." You cannot hold space if you participate in the event. Simple as that.
If you want to participate, become a participant. The facilitators holds the space, IMHO, by sublimating his or her ego to the group's integrity. Here is one example: I did an event with an organiser who was so adept at PR that he got four newspapers and a TV station to over the event which was in a rural setting. The TV crew wanted to come into the hall and film part of the process. As the theme involved suicide and self harm, I asked the group what they wanted to do with the TV crew's request. The did not want it and so, probably for the first time in their life, they were banned from shooting live footage. The organiser had to simulate a breakout group with his staff in a side room.
