If people are in conflict during open space, let them resolve it or
move onto another break-out group. </font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#0000FF">We did an event once
when seventy percent of time was dominated by the past, i.e.
management's failure to recognise the demand by staff to form a
union. As a result, everyone had to deal with the baggage
brought into the Community before dealing with future issues and
actions. It was not the best of events, but it did move the past
into the present and left some space to work on the
future.</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Maybe<font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#0000FF"> we should
revisit the role of the facilitator and look at
boundaries.</font> I am there as a professional
facilitator, which means sticking to the process with honesty and
integrity. This may involve Harrison's famous admonition to
"do one less thing" or hold up a mirror to participants,
reminding them it's their event and their outcomes.</div>

<div>Would someone please briefly explain what Non Violent
Communications (NVC) is and how it works?</div>
