[OSList] Questioning Questioning

[Lisa Heft - via OSList]

Bhav, 

I have facilitated dialogue using Open Space and other processes in many countries, and I know you have done so, also.
And I know that although I practice being open, observant and humble about how cultures-not-my-own are different and similar - about how understanding those differences and similarities affects my work and my practice as a facilitator around the world - I also know that not being =of= those cultures I may miss some nuances or observations that others as generous as yourself are willing to share. So I value your exploration, your inquiry, your observations. 

Please share more about what you are exploring, below. I am always learning from these inquiries.
