History and Context hugely influence how the rest of the patterns are invoked. Pay attention to why things are the way they are and what the people coming expect. Tune in to discern when to respect the existing culture vs. when it benefits to stretch toward something new.

Learn about the culture and history of the group you are working with, so that your actions and language fit their habits and sensibilities or, at least, you can acknowledge these as realities. (Agreed. -- Tom)

Sometimes problems, successes, or possibilities in the group arise from its culture, history, context, setting, etc. Naming these factors can help the group become aware of them and reinforce or modify them in whatever way serves their purposes. (I agree. Tom)

The welcome activity should include briefings on the larger context within which the conversation is happening and frame it as an aspect of the context for that conversation, specifically. -- Tom

Understand these factors -- history, context, setting -- and prepare to consciously deal or move with their power. -- Tom

Use the arts and story as a means for bridging difference and helping people bring their history and context into the group. (Agree. - Tom)

The facilitator and participants need to be able to step into each other's shoes or into a space outside of their usual context, often through the use of expressive arts and story.
