inner aggression and the OST facilitator

[Raffi Aftandelian]

Hi all!
For now I just want to express a deep thanks to all the replies both off and onlist to my question. And I wanted to respond briefly.

I appreciate very much the loving challenges I have gotten and some important wake up calls. (thank you Elwin for your very clear and loud reply).

When I am reminded that OST meetings is about the group and not about me, I feel very humbled and sad. I am not sure how exactly to really "be" for the group. I  think this is a fundamental question.

Yes, Therese, you are right about the "Be open, not attached to outcome"-- that is part of just being for the group.

What are ongoing practices to sort my needs from the group's? What keeps you present as a facilitator during OST? A good nap does, as does a walk.

Sometimes I worry I am too open here on this list (and in life?). The energy of 1-2 of the responses led me to think that perhaps my questions are beginning to dance a little bit too close to the edge of what people on the listserv feel comfortable talking about.

For me, OST facilitation taken seriously strikes to the core of the question of "Who am I?" and "How do I choose to be in this whirled?" I cannot not ask these questions. I know that by having clarity on these issues I can be a much more effective OST facilitator.

I am already using some of the suggested practices! Thank you.

Warmly,
Raffi
