I have no doubt about that. But I’m wondering if, in your invitations, you tend to signalthat this might happen. Assume that you have a crowd gathering to work on an issue, or for networking purposes, (rather than to “have fun”) and that they’re unfamiliar with open space ... would you hint in your invite that there will be spontaneous socializing? Would you suggest that people bring drums, paint, dancing shoes, etc ... ???</SPAN><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="#003366" face="Georgia"><SPAN lang="CY" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#003366; font-size: 16px; "><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="#003366" face="Georgia"><SPAN lang="CY" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#003366; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; ">Marty</SPAN><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="#003366" face="Georgia"><SPAN lang="CY" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#003366; font-size: 16px; "><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="#003366" face="Georgia"><SPAN lang="CY" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#003366; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; ">P.S. I particularly enjoyed the story about the organized trip to the baseball game ... it reminded me of a weeklong project I facilitated where there was so much conflict and stuckness that, in desperation, I organized field trips just to get everyone out of the building for a change of scene. (This was in my pre-Open Space days.) I only found out, many years later, how deeply controlling I’d been throughout the week, and how much of the problem had stemmed from me.</SPAN><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="#003366" face="Georgia"><SPAN lang="CY" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#003366; font-size: 16px; "><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="#003366" face="Georgia"><SPAN lang="CY" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#003366; font-size: 16px; "><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>* * ========================================================== OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu: <A href="http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html">http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html</A> To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: <A href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist">http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist</A> * * ========================================================== OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu: <A href="http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html">http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html</A> To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: <A href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist">http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist</A></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>*
