dynamic facilitation (was my first OS)

[Sheri Herndon]

Hello,

I love this topic and it's one I have thought about as well.  I spent  
a week in dynamic facilitation training back in 2000 and it changed my  
life in terms of the awareness of process arts and the doors they  
opened.

Here's a paper about integrating OS and DF (courtesy of DeAnna Martin  
from Wise Democracy - she works with Jim Rough, the founder/developer  
of DF).

warmly
Sheri
