Angels In The Closet
For three to five minutes each, talk about the angels in your closet — what you are proudest of, as boastfully as you can bear and a little more — and hear back what struck the listeners most. The manual recommends it for leadership trainings and ongoing groups, and pairs it with a skeletons round for the things one is ashamed of.
- The Skeletons and Angels variation opens with what people are most ashamed of and is a depth-3 exercise; the manual itself suggests a Hot Seat afterwards to go further, which says something about where it leads
