Properties of circles

[Alan Stewart]

G'day All

In my earlier life I ran many workshops for cooks in aged care facilities on
how to improve the nutritional value, and presentation,
of food for their residents.

These were highly participatory, with minimal formal input and plenty of
'hands on' exercises. Mostly the theme was:

                         What are the benefits to be gained by 'getting the
food right'?

The principles of Open Space were integral to these workshops, which always
started and ended in a circle.

It was fascinating to observe how the participants, usually all women, often
initially put their handbags on their laps.

Once they appreciated the 'reality' of their being the right people for the
particular learnings, they put their bags on the floor.

With love

Alan
