<DIV>>I find that the long/slow walk/look around the circle is profound. And
if flows very naturally into the opening. My one concern with "things up
>front" is that it delays the time that folks actually get into the job.
<BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have also pretty consistently heard you invite
people to look around the circle and to think of each person as
a treasure to be discovered. I have always interpreted this request,
along with the walk, as your way of "tuning" the group to themselves and each
other.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I continue to experiment with when, if ever, more
is useful. I do know that when people do some story telling, to
themselves, the person next to them or the whole circle, something seems to
shift in a good way. I don't yet have any great insight into the pull I
feel between anything beyond walking the circle being an unnecessary
intervention and the experience that a brief storytelling seems to enhance
the experience.</FONT></DIV>
