I'm guessing that young adults would react differently from people in their middle years, and from people nearing the end of a career. Part of the story, I think, links to the experiences of people in the room, and how they acquired those experiences. Facilitator/storytellers also embody things in terms of gender, race/ethnicity, language(s) used, age, abilities, class, all those interesting things that relate to the worldview of the people who respond to an invitation. Previous experiences with processes like Open Space would matter, too.<BR>
