[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] ToP Methods

[James Wiegel]

As I recall, these were an old, old idea.  When we were putting together the ToP curriculum with those horizontal bubble tables we added in Rational Objective and Experiential objective to the manuals -- after 3 or 4 years someone expressed confusion between Rational "Objective" and Experiential "Objective" and "Objective" as in ORID, so when the manual was redone we changed to Rational Aim and Experiential Aim.

In actuality, though, there is a very rich and wise diversity in the ways by which ToP facilitators actually focus and prepare themselves.  It would be a great contribution to our craft to hear from many people how they do this . .

ToP Methods Here’s a memory question – maybe something you heard.

When, how and why did we introduce the ideas of using Rational and Existential aims when we prepare for a facilitated event or a training event?

Does anyone know that history? I’m curious.
