I’m off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz. Except that I don’t know how wonderful it will be as it’s an amateur production in Halifax. We’ve seen some good and bad productions in the past including one where a flying Scrooge kept colliding with the scenery until he grabbed hold of the curtains.
I don’t know what tonight will bring but it will top off another great day with Tom Herbert who as usual has been training me in facilitation. There are elements of the two experiences that link together. The story of the Wizard of Oz is of four people seeking something from the Wizard of Oz and discovering that the journey itself gives them the answer to their quest. The lion seeks courage but finds it though being courageous, the tin man seeks a heart but discovers it through caring for Dorothy, the scarecrow seeks a brain but discovers it by thinking things through. Only Dorothy has to find her own way, by discovering that she has the means to go home, the desire to return.
So much of facilitation and regeneration seems to be about helping people to discover that they have the means to do what they want to do right at hand.
Still if anyone knows where the yellow brick road is I would be grateful if you tell me… or the wizard of oz for that matter.
