I don’t have much to add to what Chris and Michael have already said, but I’m writing, so I guess I have something to say. :-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I slowly walk the circle speaking as I do. Just once around before I stop on the rim. After that, I move occasionally if I my intuition tells me to do so. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I notice as I walk that the energy of the space changes. It is as if the connections among us become clearer to all. Harrison called it the shaman’s walk. He said is done at the pace of your heartbeat. Slow and steady, about 60 beats per minute, I seem to recall.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I often think of Open Space as the exquisite mix of yin and yang, masculine and feminine. Walking the circle evokes the yin energy of relationship. Speaking the question/theme calls in the directional energy of yang. Together they move us towards each other and into our creative potential.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Welcome to the journey!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best of success to you,</div><div class="">Peggy</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

the participants circle, invites everybody to breathe, look each other and so,

do you do it? How do you begin? Do you “walk the circle”? Why? How does it make
you feel? <span class=""></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" class="">And that´s
