<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Having just come from playing a support role in an
OST event, the question of co-facilitation was also in my mind. I took on
the support role with the intention of service. Service to the facilitator
(Chris), to support him in holding space, and service to the participants to
support them in their journey in Open Space. With that experience
behind me, as I contemplate facilitating my first OST event (which is on the
horizon), I find that I am wanting to create a support team who understand Open
Space and who will help to maintain the continuum or field of experience for the
participants. I understand that it is not necessary for successful OST
facilitation, but I am wondering if it is worth experimenting to see if there is
a qualitative difference for the participants and/or the facilitator--a
deepening, I suppose. I guess I am seeing a tandem approach to
facilitation, where one facilitator takes on the "face time" as Harrison put it,
while the other provides support--at the wall, at the computer
stations--wherever presence can arise to open more space.
Thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
