David, so interesting to read this. I am a voice (you may or may not -- that's ok) remember from your past. It was 1980, I believe, and I was a grad student at UC Berkeley. You helped the Planning and Landscape Architecture departments there define a vision... and I was *hooked*. Took a few of your workshops, sponsored another, and have integrated graphic facilitation into my work as a public policy mediator ever sense. A year ago, I left my private practice (where I focused on mediation) to join RESOLVE, a non-profit with 30 years of experience doing environmental mediation and collaboration (resolv.org). In joining RESOLVE, they committed to supporting me to let A wonderful thing -- very energizing. You can find some examples of my integration of graphic facilitation with my mediation work at a webpage on the site of my (previous) company: http://www.collaborativefocus.com/metaphor.html. You'll see I note that you -- pre-Grove I do believe -- taught me all that I know. Looking forward to working both large-scale and on-line, and to more thoroughly integrating the principles of graphic facilitation into my mediation world. Perhaps I can see you in SF some day. Yours, mb
