visual bumble bees

[fang]

Hi;
 
This is shu-fang from Taiwan.
I would like to share some different thought about visual bumblebees. 
 
OST allows participants to explore the space with their own eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and body, heart and soul.
I am not quite sure it’s a good idea to do the visual record as a facilitator.
It’s only from your own eyes

 
For me it seems not possible to do things without our own subjectivity.
We all have our own filters and limitations.
 
I think I prefer “Never work harder than you have to—always think of one more thing not to do.”

..I want to ask you a question.
.....When I walk through the groups in an OS, listening here, taking visual notes there, ...following the energy of honey smell. During the day I gather lots of images I draw this way, images which I bring together. ... I show my honey to the group afterwards, many of the others like it to have a visual overview of the proceedings, .....the unspoken energy that I felt and drew. So I found out that I create a group memory this way.
......you often talk about 'holding space'. But at African tribes meetings, at coffee brakes there is nobody holding space, or it is everybody. Self organized.
Wouldn't some of you like to test a service to the group similar to the one I am practizing? Holding space in another way?
Just start walking around drawing little images, not as a participant talking and arguing with the others, but wandering to and fro silently and open minded? And thus producing something wich no written protocol of the groups can substitute? As a stepping stone for sustainability, something to come back to, to show others?
And maybe this way also participants would follow the example and draw a bit, like in World Cafè meetings using the table cloth for visual notes?


dear reinhard,
about the question whether there is a space-holder 
in the coffe-brake I´m sure it´s the bar-keeper.
about the question whether there is a spaceholder 
in african tribe meetings,I called my friend irene, 
she is well experienced in ethnology, lived together 
for a lot of while with the tribe of the dinka in sudan.

yes, she answered, they never meet without someone,
who  is called AGAMLONG. 
agam is confirming, long is speach/speaking.
in english we my translate that as confirmer or transmitter
he is repeating part by part of the discussion between
different opinions of the participants.
that´s the way how the the dinka do it 
to give space, to give honour, to expand the now, 
to appreciate the process, to frame the emergence.

your way of confirming a discussion by taking little images
may serve in an equivalent manner.

come to goa, to our next following OSonOS.
show up into the circle, draw your message on a sheet of paper
and offer it on the marketplace
it will be fascinating.
