Bui - your questioning is so important - I hear similar concerns voiced
from many participants in the OS Facilitation co-learning programs I
host. <br><br>
From where I sit, I can never predict just what behaviours are going to
occur in any one group - we don't know who is going to be there, how long
they will stay, the degrees of passion/compassion, honesty, empathy,
aggression et al - and thus the learning that participants will
undergo.<br><br>
So my energy really goes into 'holding' all of that and allowing whatever
happens...<br><br>
and if someone chooses to leave a community due to their experience of an
Open Space - it is not, in my view, the OS process that will cause them
to leave - although they might well need to blame someone or something to
enable them to justify their choice - it will be their perception of what
goes on, or went on, and their response to it....<br><br>
Cheers<br>

feet. </blockquote><br>
