.....When I walk through the groups in an OS, listening here,<U> taking visual notes</U> there, ...following the energy of honey smell. During the day I gather lots of images I draw this way, images which I bring together. ... I show my honey to the group afterwards, many of the others like it to have a <U>visual overview of the proceedings</U>, .....the unspoken energy that I felt and drew. So I found out that I create a group memory this way.<BR>
......you often talk about 'holding space'. But at <U>African tribes meetings</U>, at coffee brakes there is nobody holding space, or it is everybody. Self organized.<BR>
Wouldn't some of you like to test a <U>service to the group</U> similar to the one I am practizing? Holding space in another way?<BR>
Just start <U>walking around drawing little images</U>, not as a participant talking and arguing with the others, but wandering to and fro silently and open minded? And thus producing something wich no written protocol of the groups can substitute? As <U>a stepping stone for sustainability</U>, something to come back to, to show others?<BR>
And maybe this way <U>also participants would follow the example and draw a bit</U>, like in World Cafè meetings using the table cloth for visual notes?<BR>

about the question whether there is a space-holder <BR>
in the coffe-brake I´m sure it´s the bar-keeper.<BR>
about the question whether there is a spaceholder <BR>
in african tribe meetings,I called my friend irene, <BR>
she is well experienced in ethnology, lived together <BR>
for a lot of while with the tribe of the dinka in sudan.<BR>
<BR>
yes, she answered, they never meet without someone,<BR>
who is called AGAMLONG. <BR>
agam is confirming, long is speach/speaking.<BR>
in english we my translate that as confirmer or transmitter<BR>
he is repeating part by part of the discussion between<BR>
different opinions of the participants.<BR>
that´s the way how the the dinka do it <BR>
to give space, to give honour, to expand the now, <BR>
to appreciate the process, to frame the emergence.<BR>
<BR>
your way of confirming a discussion by taking little images<BR>
may serve in an equivalent manner.<BR>
<BR>
come to goa, to our next following OSonOS.<BR>
show up into the circle, draw your message on a sheet of paper<BR>
and offer it on the marketplace<BR>
it will be fascinating.<BR>
