Hi Jon and All
Will be fascinating indeed to hear from you what emerges from this gathering
and what seeds you sow.
Also to have your observations on how a group comprised seemingly of all
'chiefs' responds to being in open space. And how the facilitator does
her/his 'stuff' in such a context.
Good luck
Alan
