Purpose+pattern relationship descriptions - Pattern Language of Group Process

Purpose, along with Setting Intention, are the initial, primary and over-arching patterns of group process. Intention is the high-level strategy, the "how", the way the group will "stretch towards" achievement of Purpose.

Appreciation of purpose can be achieved through Invitation and Questioning (the Purpose may even be stated as a question to be answered).

Opening and Welcome is where the initial group Purpose is articulated. Allowing it to evolve entails Balancing Structure and Flexibility.
