The history of facilitating ourselves perhaps starts with the book A Different Drum with Scott Peck confronting the challenge of building a “group of all leaders”. This idea appealed to me and when I saw the first facilitating ourselves event advertised I thought “Yes! This is definitely for me”.
Our challenge at Cryndir, in Wales, was increased when we found ourselves at the effect of a major water shortage on arrival. 30 people making do with primitive sanitary facilities proved to be an exercise in chaos management which brought us together! The provision of tasty food for us all on a regular basis was managed
Our challenge at Cryndir, in Wales, was increased when we found ourselves at the effect of a major water shortage on arrival. 30 people making do with primitive sanitary facilities proved to be an exercise in chaos management which brought us together! The provision of tasty food for us all on a regular basis was managed
by a different small group each day and, likewise was an exercise in community building. Open space sessions were held on subjects as diverse as clowning, male sexuality, bullying, Goethean observation, a jam session and many a walk. Small groups, as well as cooking together, provided a space for support, listening and a sense of family. The community building circles were powerful, confronting, rewarding, exciting... Everything I expected and more. The circles were facilitated by many of us having a go at facilitation for the first time, but it seemed to work. Lovely evenings were spent around the woodburner with live music, Scrabble and general good will. I came out of the experience knowing I had experienced something amazing, knowing I wanted to do it again. Eric Ballard
