Res: Re: Rome was one year ago - any news?

[Lucy Geão]

joelle,

even I am not really inside the subjects discussed at that rome meeting, I
need to say you that the sentence  you wrote here -  "where I thought we
would go was not the place where we needed to be, and I had to decide how to
create a space for what was needed" was present a lot of times during my
life and now reading it said by a person that is so far from me (and that do
no knows me) sounded more strong and has made me  think about its concepts

it is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is really interesting to be
around persons that bring me good and strong thoughts making me forget - for
some moments -  the reality of the daily routine.

Artur--
 
In my 20+ years working as a facilitator (in Open Space and other forms),
there have been a number of times when I have realized, on the last morning
of a
meeting, that where I thought we would go was not the place where we needed
to
be, and I had to decide how to create a space for what was needed. I think
that the rule book can only take us so far, and then we must be responsive
to
the group and to our own intuition.
 
I also know that in teaching novices, we always "know more than we can say."
The handbook must cover the basics, but it cannot cover every possible
situation.
 
The group in Rome was doing difficult and painful work--maybe far more
painful than they had anticipated. So Harrison's intervention, asking them
to
choose again whether they wished to continue this difficult work, felt
appropriate
to me.
 
My two cents' worth--
