Facilitator must be part of the conversations

[douglas germann]

Hi all--

The difficulty may be that we see ourselves as influencing, actually
over-influencing, the results, for we might not be there to help with
the implementation of what we have influenced. Our passion and our
responsibility will separate from the group after the event; the group
will be left with a potentially empty bag if the results do not arise
from them. We have trouble separating ourselves as facilitators from the
expert from and to afar, who sweeps in, does the audience and leaves. We
know that if people do it themselves, they can continue, but if done to,
they will likely not continue. 

Still...there is a withholding of our living essence, the weaving
between ourselves and them, which might have given them some threads to
weave a richer tapestry. For we are a part of the human dynamic, and our
withholding also influences....
