Dive in must be respectful of people's boundaries, allowing for norms of when to opt out. - wiki
One possibility for Dive In is to dive into doing CM. --Tree
In the midst of dissonance, it may be hard to Dive In, or our Diving In may just make things worse. So when you Dive In, don't be dogmatic; offer your gift as one person's perspective. (Related to Taking Responsibility, which I've given a higher priority to.) -- Tom
What comes up inside you may well be an important part of what is coming up -- or needs to come up -- in the group -- especially when you newly feel tremendous energy about it. Diving in and saying it can be an immense contribution to collective realization. - Tom
Where to dive in? Where you sense energy. --Tree
The group can be totally absorbed in what it's talking about but be manifesting dysfunctions that make it hard to make progress. Dive In to tag those dynamics or even just ask "Are we doing what we need to be doing right now?" -- Tom
If something doesn't seem right about the facilitation, or some facilitation intervention is needed, go ahead and Dive In to get things on track. (This is closely related to Power Shift and Shared Leadership and Roles which also require Diving In in the same way, for the same reasons.) -- Tom
We dive into a container. Diving in takes place in a context, not randomly. As facilitators we provide safety so that people can dive. --Tree
Diving in can take the form of circling back through something at a much deeper level. -- Sue
I could imagine it being useful to do this just before diving in. Let go of attachment to outcome. --Tree
When a person's words and emotions are making things awkward, give a shot at reflecting back to them what they're trying to get across. You never can tell if it will work, but if you really want to know, it can be magical. --- Tom
Try shifting gears to some other mode, perhaps acting something out or holding up a sign. The shock of the shift, itself, can open up the group up to new paths. -- Tom
Go ahead! Say what you see! And then give it a name. -- Tom
Play can release the inhibitions/constraints that are preventing us from delving deeper. --Sue
Helps get ready for diving, and then being ready for a variety of outcomes after. --Tree
Shifting from reflection to action may be the way to dive into something. --Sue
Of course you can just Dive In -- the right time being when the impulse hits you. But it may be important to wait and notice when signs suggest the group is ready, even eager to hear or shift. -- Tom
Important to set intention before the dive, so you dive in the right direction. --Tree
Sometimes you just KNOW that SOMETHING is needed but you don't know what it is. At that point suggesting a moment of silence, even when it thoroughly interrupts the flow, can be invaluable, creating a new beginning. -- Tom
Shifting into small group mode can help folks find the safety to dive in. --Sue
