[Ailist] Alternative to Artistic expression of Positive Core

[MARY DELCUZE]

Judith,
  When I have resistance to the creative artistic expression exercise I start the groups off by talking about analogies and metaphores for their Positive Core or Dream. This seems to help those who are very verbal move into the creative representation. In your case you could substitute an open brainstorming of analogies and metaphores and the abundance - then allow them to creatively arrange them on paper. A true word picture with the words also forming an image.
   
  My goal is to have them move out of the linear into more open thought and possibility.
   
  Good wishes!

Hello
I am facilitating a mini summit with two departments who have been underinvolved in the larger summit and initatives. It is critical that we have a successful meeting to contribute to 3 other initiatives underway. Two "key" people do not want to do the Positive Core the way we did it at the Summit and earlier sessions. Those involved artistic creations of some kind. 
I would appreciate any other ideas of how to conduct Positive Core to get the juice flowing.
Thank you!
