Dear Martin,

I read your query on Listserve. I have no input for the question you have asked
HO, howver, I am doing similar things in China for Dutch enterpreneurs.
Therefore I have gone through the same thought process; my idea that each group
requires safe spaces to be created and guarded by the (sleeping) facilitator.in
this sense you may address this issue in the opening and after that it will
self organize..... I guess, but let see what HO has to say. Anyway we may have
a direction in common.

I would love to brainstorm further in a one to one, if you like to.
I am in Holaand during the month of august (+31-31-6 26555185, or skype:gysgys,
or email)
