Opening the circle 2.
Like any good host, I do not give them instructions until after I’ve
welcomed them. When I’ve returned to where I started walking, I stand
still & tell them the things they need to pay attention to: Law of 2Feet, 4
Principles; move & follow what you really care about; where things are
located; how to offer their gifts, questions, opportunities.

>>
>> This expression "focusing the group" does not mean that I focus on the
>> group or that I focus the group on their issues or tasks but that the
>> group focuses on itself at this moment at the beginning of the os
>> process... it is the first impulse for expanding the space for
>> selforganisation. I call it expanding the space for the forces of

>> difference that it is not necessary to expand space for magnetism.

>> In groups of ourselves, in our organisations and in our systems it is

>> Control is the main enemy of selforganisation.

>> cooperate, fight, embrace and whatever it needs to eventually come to
>> action.
>>
>> In my introduction - still walking the circle - I say a few things

>> the group in the circle. And keep looking at everyone. If there are 50
>> folks with an average of perhaps 40 years, I might say something like:
>> "Looking around you see the doors to 50 treasure chests filled with 1855
>> years of life experience... and centuries of work experience. Each of
>> these treasure chests is filled with vast libraries full of knowledge,
>> experience, dreams, skills, visions. You can go onto a treasure hunt in
>> the next three days opening the doors and opening your own door... give
>> away your treasures and value those of the others."
>>
>> After that I repeat the Major Theme and start describing the process...
>> still walking the circle and stopping in front of the principles,
