What I fine conference! I must congratulate you on your careful
planning and sound organisation in bringing such an interesting group of
participants for another valuable conference. Jane and I were pleased
to be included in that number, and in sharing notes we find we have
taken a lot from the interactions with a good range of people. I
anticipate, for example, that we may find a way of working with some of
the Dutch people, and we are looking forward to re-connecting with Horst
to understand more of his work in Germany. It also occurred to us that
we have some skills in managing group dynamics which we could share with
you and others of your facilitators for use in your 'meta dialogues'.
If this would interest you, let's have a conversation to see what would
be involved. I think Jane will be in touch with you separately to see
if we might put links in place between our website and your website, and
we are thinking about what kind of report we could offer on our two
sessions (on Concentric Circle Dialogue and Threshold Dialogue) for
inclusion in your conference report. thanks again Peter __________________ Peter Garrett iam@petergarrett.com PRISON DIALOGUE & DIALOGUE ASSOCIATES www.dialogue-associates.com

Until Hearts Meet Socratic Dialogue Chichester, 24-26 July 2009 Subject to small print Of regressive abstraction That tipped the scale Of acting with satisfaction, I would like to state Without throwing a stone at the temple How angelic was Our mild evangelisation In taking the responsibility In a light-bulb moment For the future of this dialogue and Look where it has taken us:
Tooth picking words Committing non-commitment Attaching detachment Dispatching a nightmarish word storm In whose eye safely nested crystal-ball gazing Separates us from each other Until hearts meet.
