Disclosure · what is sharedoptional

Three questions answered privately — what am I proud of, what was my most courageous act, what do I most value about myself — then one of them spoken around the whole circle. The facilitator thanks each person and names their strength aloud. The handbook asks for music underneath and for whatever the local culture uses to honour someone to be used at the close.

Hold with care
  • Speaking well of oneself in a circle is the difficulty here, not the reflection — the handbook offers writing, drawing or a pair as alternatives to the full round
