Relevance of a good facilitator is made clearer when the facilitator is not effective
* not just saying the rules and explaining the rules, but being able to address situations where the rules are violated
What is the purpose of rules that are not enforced?
*****************
Relevance of barriers (financial, temporal, location) as a way to ensure safety, comfort, and progress.
The first section of meditating for 30 minutes can be a barrier/filter, but only if attendance is required. Otherwise people will just show up for the "fun" part.
If you offer a space that's heated and there's free food, need to think about more than just who you want to show up. Who would show up that would take advantage of that offering? And what consequence would there be to that exploitation?
If I don't feel safe, I can't feel comfortable. If I don't feel comfortable, I'm not going to be playful or curious or open or vulnerable.
