Subject: Re: "professional" signs question from Ed Ball<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear Ed,<br>
there are different reasons for me to produce the 4 Principles, the one Law,
the Admonition, a sign saying "Welcome" and a huge poster with the
Theme right on site (the Theme sometimes is produced by the sponsoring
organization, especially if they want a really huge one that might also need to
be hung outside and be storm- and waterproof) plus a simple overview of the
schedule: 1. It is part of my arriving and becoming detached (as others have<br>
reported)<br>
2. It transports the message: anyone can do it in a jiffy<br>
3. Another message: Its not important enough to make permanent signs, its low
key, there could be other ways of expressing the principles 4. I like to have
control over them to be very big and have only one thing on each poster and
spread around the room as a guide for me to help me remember stuff and, very
sparingly, maybe to point to one or another during circle time 5. I like to
give them away 6. My handwriting is quite distinctive so that if anyone in the
world sees a picture of an open space with a sign produced by me they will say,
darn, its Michael again 7. The wording is now standard but it evolved quite a
bit over time (this might be important in non-English settings, in English
settings its clear that its all been settled and thoroughly discussed) but, I
dont know why, there are still folks in Germany that use other wordings than I
do<br>
<br>
The bumble bee and butterfly posters I get done by my kids or neighborhood kids
(this really intrigues them, what do you need them for, they will ask, well,
this is how I get them hooked on open<br>
space) and sometimes by someone with a gift for this kind of stuff in the team
of helpers. My Law posters dont show a pair of feet as done by the Grand Master
but footsteps (4 or 5) of someone walking across the poster diagonally
reinforcing the notion of mobility. The footsteps I usually get from one of the
helpers.<br>
<br>
Your second question intrigued me: what might be the difference in the results?
I would have to do it both ways for a while to get data to answer that
question. My hunch is, that doing it my way does in fact transform the room (in
addition to having the chairs be in a circle - which in many cases is the first
time that the room has had this experience, sometimes its the first time it has
an experience with chairs at all, as in the case of a gym, in other cases
chairs have been used in rows or around tables, but not in a circle - and
having a center with a little bit of a decoration)....at least I get feedback
from folks (co-facilitators, helpers and participants that are familiar with
the<br>
room) saying that they feel very comfortable, that the room has a light aura,
is more beautiful, or that they would never have imagined that the room could
look this way. And in that way it influences .... no matter how you do it, it
will have an influence. If it is set up with the participants in mind and
arranged in a way that things are self-explanatory supporting the
selforganizing mode, than it will have an influence on results, as does every
detail.<br>
<br>
In general, I think your second question is great because it puts the importance,
or the energy or time I put into a detail, into perspective.<br>
<br>
By the way, what do you mean with "Givens" in your first question?
What would be a "given" that would go on a sign? Directional signs?
Times?<br>

Greetings from Berlin where I just accompanied "my" 83rd open space,
this one with 140 teachers and students, partners and friends of the school and
from the department of education on improving the quality of education at their
