I have seen people in a group initiated by yourself, Harrison, who did not
dare to use their two feet and leave, because it was you. I have seen people
after Open Space sessions who just had a nice time without any consequences. I
have seen people who went really deep in other Open Space sessions, like the
one in Oberursel, where facilitators talked about their workaholism. I have
seen very beautiful mix/max sessions like the one in Borl, Slowenia, organized
by young girls from London shortly after the refoundation of
Slowenia.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT>

since whoever comes is the right people, people getting into mix/max groups
are the right people as well. It's the only thing that could have
happened.</SPAN></FONT>
