Dear Lisa and Harrison,
Why am I not surprised with your answers :) Invite and breath :)
And I will! The theme is already set and so is the invitation and yes we think that some of the people "against" who are organizing the demonstration will come as well - and I think that is good - and I do hope that they respect the format and don't be "space invaders" - that is my biggest worry right now - that some of them will try to invade the freedom to everybody to bring forward what is on their heart and mind.
The meeting is about a proposal from a city about how to develop and build/change a part of a city - and it's a "hot potato" i.e a lot of feelings against and some pro of course. And the open space will be a step in the formal procedure that they have to have - to inform the citizens so that they have a chance to react on the proposal.
So - how do you handle a Space Invader? Any tips there?
Sooo grateful for you being out there!!!
:o)
Eva

If you really want to blow everybody's mind invite the demonstrators to join the circle. When you have conflict (which it sort of looks like you do) the solution is to keep opening the space until there is room for everybody who cares to come. Of course if the demonstrators don't care to come -- just want to stand on the outside and do whatever, that is their choice.
