Rome was one year ago - any news?

[Pannwitz, Michael M]

Dear Artur,
the text you quote is contained as a quote in ho's book "The Practice
of Peace" (pages 74 through 80, followed by "A Participant's
Reaction", pages 80 and 81).
Commenting on this particular open space, ho then writes on page 82
"At no point during our time together did I intervene in any way with
any group".
The "intervention" that you describe is an often used  procedure (not
a rule) on the "third day" (of course, done in different style,
intensity, etc.), having a phase of reflection, sometimes with the
suggestion that everyone might reflect by herself/ himself and then
join with another person for sharing and clarification before moving
into action planning.
See you in Denmark
