<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I have just opened space with a live audience of
twenty one Environmental Educators in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It was
a magic two days in the mountains being ably assisted by OST facilitator and
chef Daniel Lebel. Daniels food added a richness and depth to bless the
experience indeed. </span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Big learning's and some questions:</span></font> </p>

</span></font></span></font><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>It works!!!!!!! In spite of myself. Even as
facilitator I almost abdicated responsibility by almost announcing everyone
needed to enter session proceeding into computers so I could go to bed! Daniel
pointed out that if that was my approach we could have offered participants a
can of beans and opener and got them to feed themselves. I accepted this
wisdom, sat at a computer and was promptly followed by almost every session
convener! </span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:

10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Do people articulate suspension of rank and role as
one of the givens of a workshop? This was not an army type organisation but has
the normal hierarchal structure.</span></font></p>

10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If a group departs from the OST process and
"leaders" choose a different process is it the facililtators role to
remind group members they have choice? In this instance I offered the group the
convergence process and the leaders decided they had a better way. Later in the
closing circle a number of participants voiced their dissatifaction at the
departure from the OST process.</span></font></p>
