Facilitator & access notes

Not everyone will have good news to share. Passing or choosing a small neutral pleasure is welcome.

How to facilitate it

  1. Invite a brief account of something positive or interesting in someone’s recent life.
  2. Give each person a turn and an easy option to pass.
  3. Receive the contributions without turning them into questions, announcements or advice.
