Hey niko...good to see you here on the list. The last time we met was on a wide beach in Nelson, NZ in 2004, and hilarity and deep conversation did indeed ensue. That was a fun day.<br><br>The most important thing with a small group is making sure you stay out of the way. SMall groups will do things that you don't often see in much larger groups. For example, they will more readily organize to deal with all of the agenda items at once. They may also try to enlist you in facilitating some of their conversation. Of course, if your goal is to experience and work deeply in Open Space, you will want to hold space as much as possible. It will be an interesting experience, and be sure that you share whatever you are learning with us all. It helps to keep haring the experiences of first time practitioners to keep our own learning questions alive.
<br><br>Good luck with it and have fun.<br><br>Chris<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/12/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Lisa Heft</b> <<a href="mailto:lisaheft@openingspace.net">lisaheft@openingspace.net</a>
