I am reminded, Harrison, of participating in large Worldwork groups facilitated by Arny Mindell and his colleagues in Process Work. What you did by naming the "tension" brought back a memory of a very intense process around racism with 85 people from around the world. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The facilitator named the floating "role in the field"....the Tension, or Violence,... out loud to the group. Until then it felt like the force of energy, was just escalating around and around the room, gaining momentum. He just said something like "I am feeling such and such in the air, is that so?". </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>It was SUCH a relief and the named "role" was out and seen by all. I have also been in a group where that force of energy was not named and it literally possessed the most vulnerable participant, with edgy consequences. I preferred the first way, for sure.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>What you did next was much quieter and self-responsible than what happened in Process Work. But that "naming" of the role that no-one wants to take on is so important.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>This is such an interest for me....how to deal with the extremes of emotion that can be present in group....overtly or erupting from down below.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks for the telling of your experience!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Sandra</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV class="Section1"><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; ">Peggy my experience has been that everything works well in the circle PROVIDED you really have the space and the time to allow it all work. Specifically, in two really intense situations (one was the Israelis and Palestinians I worked with in Rome) – when I knew there was some really heavy duty baggage coming in the door I opened the space just about as much as I could. Not to be mysterious, when the people arrived for the morning circle, I greeted them and simply acknowledged the tension in the air. I didn’t go into details, because I really didn’t know what they were, but there was no question that the temperature was high and going higher. After that acknowledgement I said something to the effect that I felt we were at a point of choosing. We could all choose to go home (mad, sad, whatever) or we could confront the elephant in our midst. To assist our choosing I proposed a one hour break. People were invited to go wherever they wished, and at the end of an hour, those who so desired could return, and we would take it from there. I did not offer any opportunity for discussion, but simply left the circle myself.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P><DIV><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; ">Precisely one hour later I came back, not having any sort of clue as to who might be there upon my return. To my surprise everybody (Everybody!) had returned and was sitting in their seats. I acknowledged their presence and passed the talking stick (in the case of the Palestinians/Israelis it was an Olive Branch). Two and a half hours later, or thereabouts – the stick came back to me. It had been quite a ride with sharing at levels I could not believe. Tears, anger, laughter – we had it all. And when it was all over it turned into what I can only describe as a “hug-fest.”</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P><DIV><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; ">In both cases, we had anticipated going into Action Planning – but there was clearly no way for that until we had dealt with the elephant. Once done, however, the action planning rolled out in a very natural and organic fashion. People just made deals and promises. Most surprising, everything came to a conclusion at precisely the announced stopping time – well more or less – because then we had lunch, and the plans and promises continued throughout the meal.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P><DIV><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; ">I must confess that in the first instance, it was pretty much of a “Hail Mary” (Americanism for “desperation play.”). Truthfully, I couldn’t think of anything else. But the second time around it was very conscious and intentional on my part. I am not sure which one was better, but the second situation surely felt better to me. More to the point, given the same or a similar situation I would do the same thing again. My learning was profound, confirming what I already knew, but tended to forget. Open the space so the people can make their own way, and they will take care of the business. Nothing else needed.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P><DIV><FONT size="3" color="red" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);
