Can't help with further references re: graphic facilitation. I do have some references about using guided imagery and other visualization techniques for group facilitation:<BR>

I have personally used guided imagery with groups working on solving problems or creating new ideas. I particularly like to begin the process of developing vision and goals by having members or an organization visualize the future state of the organization, and share those images with others. Working first in a nonverbal mode seems to help identify the shared visions that are held by group members, who may be in frequent conflict about day-to-day issues. <BR>
<BR>
Today, I am more likely to use OST for the purposes of tapping creativity and identifying visions of the future. But I have had good results in the past incorporating imagery processes into group facilitation, and am happy to discuss this further with you, off-list, if you wish.<BR>
