advice on os for 600 (Lisa)

Hi Lisa

 

Surely there is a significant rearrangement of chairs when a group attracts
way more than 15 people, or when one group decides to combine with another.


 

(One of my favorite aspects of OS is to see the way the chairs - not just
the people - move.

Hi, Marty -

Yes, I think from above it would look like the pie you describe, allowing
for a nice wide aisle for the 4 directions of main aisles and as much room
as you are able to put between the circles, to allow for traffic/flow/sound
issues.

I do circles of 15 chairs. People sit anywhere to start. Then when they jump
into the first session, they just go to the circle where the topic that
draws their interest is. 

No adjustment of the circles of chairs is needed, from open, through
sessions, through close, except for (as I might do in any size room or
group) some helpers (because this is a bigger room helpers are useful)
neatening the circles of chairs and the materials/tools inside the circles
between sessions or whenever they pass something by that could use a little
neatening. The reason for this is both to have some clear access to tools /
a neat work space and clear understanding of locations and also because a
neater room throughout the day in such a large group helps for any safety or
emergency issues.
