Dear OSLIST,
Tired as my body is after this weekend's retreat, I can't seem to sleep
without posting a story to the list. And I even tried. Diagnosis: a real
case of storytelling fever. Must have caught it from Chris Corrigan.
Thanks for the replies to last night's story.

Chris:
I am sure that part of being transparent is to be authentic in your process
and in who you are. It sounds like you did that 'in spades'.
I so admire your honesty in your self-examination.
Blessings to you and thanks for being such a blessing to me

playback ost story (long)Beautiful story Chris - thank you.(and thank you for
your acknowledgement too!!) I guess there are times when transparency means
telling it like it is -ie the feeling states come shining through - while of
course not making it any one else's problem AND continui
I guess my other thought about this and what I meant by authenticity is that
it would have been really hard to hide your feelings and so telling the truth
about them was the harder but better thing to do.

playback ost story (long)Chris,
I have waited to reply for a relaxed opportunity.
My perspective comes from a more theraputic model. You desribe your
response well and I trust quite accurately. To lock yourself in the

To Dave Rupley,
Until I read your words I did not consider that "what I was going through"
had been picked up on by the group prior to my verbalizing it. I believe
that you are right, and this new perspective is deeply important in filling
in my understanding of what happened. I am content with
and coffee.

Chris--
One of the things that I learned long ago about facilitation is that if there
is something in the room with emotional energy around it, it needs to be
spoken out loud, or else things soon get very weird.
Open Space provides opportunity for participants to do just that, but
sometimes the f
I have noticed a marked difference between groups that meet in the same
room and those that spread out around a facility. i like to have groups
meet in the same room ( the higher the ceiling the better) as it
facilitates a lot more sustained energy and helps bumblebees to find
their way around. A
