<DIV><BR></DIV>It's funny Larry...I also have discomfort at using the word
"facilitator" sometimes, especially as I see the group struggles to make sense
of its newly rediscovered freedom.<BR><BR>And I have always had trouble saying
that I can "train" people in Open Space. <BR><BR>Jack's questions are sitting
with me too, and the more I think about this crazy process, the more I realize
how much it helps us to loosen our attachments to all of these
things.<BR><BR>Chris<BR><BR>

not accurate for the task of opening and holding space, but it is language
that many understand and a place to start the conversation with a
client.<SPAN> </SPAN>To the extent that "facilitate" means making it
easier for the client/group to get where they are going – to open space, to
expand awareness of now, to accomplish a task – then using the "technology"
of OST is a way to do that.<SPAN> </SPAN>Of course, "technology" is
not a good description <SPAN>either because OST includes ritual,
choreography, some principles, a law and</SPAN> some infrastructure (e.g.
post-its) that are all part of the effort to make it easier for the
group/client to experience opening of their space.</SPAN></FONT></P>
