Hmmm... I appreciate, Birgitt, that you do not like the old postings being shared "beyond this list community." You raise some important questions, about openess, understanding, sharing, heart, list and community. The archives as they have been are 100% publicly accessible. Anyone can search th

Hi For a good, no-nonsense introduction to the what-why-how of storytelling, check out "The story factor" by Annette Simmons . I've been using storytelling more and more over the last couple of years, and this book really gave

Harrison: Harrison: Thanks for your thoughts on this. I like the depth of storytelling that you bring to light. I have the same quibble with Smits' notion of the facilitator's role, although I know he's coming from the perspective of the facilitator in Bohm's dialogue model. That's pretty clos

2004-03-17 Thread Thomas Herrmann
Dear Chris I have worked and still use both OS and World Café(+group graphics) but I haven´t mixed them. I have almost only used the Café when I have had a large group and little time (often 2-3 hours).I do know that there are people around who use Café to go deeper than we do on these occasions.
