What was most valuable about this Session for you?

1. Another chance to practice the introduction and facilitate a circle

2. questions that others have

3. Experiencing how the values were expressed by the structure of the circle

4. Learning that other people struggle with aspects of the circles.

5. I'm not sure what was more valuable than something else. I'm most aware of a growing sense that there is no 'right' way to hold circle. And noticeing how challengeing it is to really pay attention to everyone's speaking for 2 hours and more.

6. The one minute contemplation on the topic beforehand

7. Being able to practice difficult situations and having fun doing it

8. Values of culture of empathy

9. Practice

10. Opportunity to practice in safety.

11. Learning core principles

12. Deepening and sharing questions

What questions are in your mind right now about facilitating Empathy Circles?

1. none

2. can't think of now

3. How Different personalities and energies of facilitators might do their best at facilitating

4. How do I stay motivated?

5. What is the best size of circle? 6 felt a bit big. Would it be useful to include a break for a stretch, drink, bathroom break, to help people be grounded in their body ( heart)?

7. Just how online and in-person circles differ.

8. none at the moment

9. Important for facilitator to keep conversation on topic?
