When in workshops about facilitation, leadership or similar topics, using the patterns as lens in a CSH makes the learning come both ways: through the story and through the lens. With some patterns some creativity needs to be applied so it can be universal enough to fit a story, but usually it works amazingly well.</span><br style="line-height:22.72px;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Calibri;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br style="line-height:22.72px;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Calibri;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Calibri;line-height:22.72px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Warmly,</span><br style="line-height:22.72px;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Calibri;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Calibri;line-height:22.72px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Vini, from Brazil<br></span><br></span>----<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class=""><div style="line-height:21.3px;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Hi Christine,<br style="line-height:21.3px"></div><div style="line-height:21.3px;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br style="line-height:21.3px"></div><div style="line-height:21.3px;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">oh, that was a mistake indeed.

Usually I ask for 3 cards, and then I ask them to narrow it down to 1 card. That is a way of doing something like a Participatory Needs Assessment, which means that it enables me as a facilitator to see what are the "hot topics" in the room. It usually helps me to understand better the group and how I can be of service.<br style="line-height:21.3px"><br style="line-height:21.3px">About CSH, I ask participants to hold the card they've chosen and their lens to listen to the story. If there are questions on how to adapt the card to a lens, we resolve this prior to listening to the story. For example, card "All grist for the mill" could mean the points on the story where people have been flexible, adaptable, or have used what could be considered bad/sad moment to their learning or to their advantage in the end. As all the patterns are fractals, usually you can use their meaning as a lens. Except from this, I run the CSH as usual (storytelling, reflecting back, how was it for the teller, how was it for the listeners, and in the case of more than one storytelling circle, a meta-harvest where similars lenses talk usually in a world-café format). This brings a wonderful learning experience both through the story and personal connection but also on applying the pattern as a lens in real-life situations.<br style="line-height:21.3px"><br style="line-height:21.3px">Does this bring more clarity to you?<br style="line-height:21.3px">Any other way I can be of service?<br style="line-height:21.3px"><br style="line-height:21.3px">And yes, I am an AoH practioneer :-)<br style="line-height:21.3px"><br style="line-height:21.3px">All the best,<br style="line-height:21.3px">Vini</div><br></span><div><hr><span class="">To: <a href="mailto:chris.alice.koehler@gmail.com" target="_blank">chris.alice.koehler@gmail.com</a>; <a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org" target="_blank">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a><br>Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 16:08:40 -0600<br>Subject: Re: [OSList] New: Group Pattern langage in French<br>From: <a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org" target="_blank">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a><br><br></span><div><div class="h5">
Hi Christine,<br>
<br>
I very much enjoy the GroupWorks card deck and use it frequently to
help me understand, work with, and improve group dynamics when I
teach at Montana Code School, when I set up Open Space events, and
when I coach agile teams.<br>
<br>
I've also used them to help me with group dynamics on the OSList.
Tricia Chirumbole and I were on the OSHotline at least a year ago
and the two cards that seemed to be the most helpful were the
following:<br>
<br>
<b>Embrace Dissonance and Difference:</b><br>
Encourage your group to honour contradictory viewpoints, sitting
with the uncertainty and ambiguity this brings. Acknowledge all
perspectives as equally valid and explore them fully as needed,
especially when tensions are high and agreement seems far away.<br>
<br>
<b>Playfulness:</b><br>
Invite light-hearted and high-spirited interaction to exercise mind,
senses, imagination, and body, to engender creativity, and deepen
relationships. Playfullness may be evoked through structured but fun
ways to engage relevant topics, or restorative breaks that allow
laughter free reign, or may simply show up as humour.<br>
<br>
The GroupWorks card deck was an open source project based on the
design pattern language from legendary architect Christopher
Alexander which also inspired the popular Design Patterns for object
oriented software development.<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Friends of Open Space
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are very pleased to announce the release in French of
the deck of cards you may know: Group Pattern langage. </div>
<div>The Group pattern langage was created by a group of US
facilitators who gave it to the world with a creative common
licence ( <a href="http://groupworksdeck.org/" target="_blank">website</a> here) </div>
<div>With 2 colleagues, Jeremie from Switzerland and Juan-Carlos
from Canada, we translated it into French and found an editor
who prints it and distribute it.</div>
<div>We've created a website dedicated to the cards : <a href="http://dynamiquesdegroupe.com/" target="_blank">dynamiques-de-groupe.com</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The cards are coming out in France and Switzerland next
Friday , and will be available in many bookstores for a few
weeks.</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Those beautiful cards show the many patterns we, as
facilitators, can see when a group works at its best.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are many different ways to use those cards, and I'd
love to hear how you use it in your work. Would you share
this with me ? </div>
<div><br>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>I'd wish all groups in the world would connect and use
those patterns to have conversations and work together so
that terrible events like the one we experienced again today
in Bruxelles does not happen again.<br>
</div>
<div>Christine </div>
