Chris, and others...
Your question appeared on my screen at a good time for me.
It is the first time in a long time I have had enough of a
break in the action to both read, reflect and respond.

For a variety of reason's it's been a long time since I have spoken up,
though I have been reading fairly regulary. Which is what I was doing
today when I noticed that a piece of news I am excited about has not
been posted by Harrison.
One of the things I have been doing this year is serving on t

My fairly superficial cognitive understanding of Zen wonders the same...I hope

Larry,
I am glad you have asked for feedback from the list about this book. I have
skimmed all of it and read some parts closely. I bought it to think about the
connection with Bohm's work on dialogue, especially as practiced and taught by
Glenna Gerrard and Linda Ellinor (who published a book t

I think you are asking the right questions about who has the passion and
willing to accept reponsibility with respect to the issue. Today the one
part of your question I am willing to share my perspective on is related
to the opening...and I would be curious to have others respond so I ca

Dear PKaipa,
Thank you for sharing your full reaction to Birgitt's comments. This list works
best for me when we can "hold our convictions lightly." It works best for me
when
each of us can suspend our assumptions and certainties...suspend, as in, to hang

Dear Birgitt,
Again, thank you. Just as I was preparing to reread this stream to figure out
where it came from and what was making me crazy you jumped in. I don't entirely
disagree with most of the "reasons" people change that were offered up by
several people. I think that there are a zillion
Add me to the list of people who has struggled with my relationship to futurists

Peg, Thanks for the good question. And Buzz, thanks for reminding me where Marv
learned about soak time. Here are a few more of my own thoughts:

My perspective is quite similar to Harrison's on this. I have also seen this
in Future Search and Bohmian Dialogue groups. Marv Weisbord & Sandra Janoff
refer to the overnight time as "soak time" and I have taken to wishing people
an active dream life whenever the work we are doing involves an ov
Ralph,
Sounds very potentially fun and productive. As always, my question in a
situation like this is: What outcome does the client hope for or need? The
answer to that may lead to some more questions, like: How important is the
documentation? Why? If it is, what if each convener agreed to ar

Birgitt, Another thought just came to me on this topic. While many aspects of
