Robyn! Thank you for posting this example of your and others' great work for us to learn from. I also really appreciate you taking the time to share your reflection from the experience – what you think is of up most importance. It gives me something to mull upon — how to create the container and the rhythm to honor the sacred ground that allows the deeper learning and connection to self and others.
Hi Kristin, you are so welcome. I am big on reflections! I appreciate your comments and your work! As one of the principles of Open Space Technology states: "What happens is the only thing that could." Social constructionism, right! So being conscious of what happens and what could happen is how I continue to develop in my role as a facilitator and leader. The container we speak of has so many components – physical, psychological, political, age, gender, values and to hold them all requires much love and power on the part of the facilitator.
