Reflection & Closing: Sustaining Bodhisattvic Motivation (facilitator c)
Reflections + Closing Meditation (20 minutes)
Facilitator C’s Role:
Take Notes During Group Discussion: While Facilitator B is guiding the group’s reflection, jot down key words, phrases, and themes that arise. Pay special attention to common insights, emotional tones, and shared threads across participants’ experiences.
Weave Themes into a Closing Meditation: After the group reflection, offer a short improvisational meditation (about 8–10 minutes) that integrates the themes you noted. This could include:
Naming the shared insights back to the group.
Guiding participants to breathe into those insights, noticing where they land in the body.
Inviting everyone to imagine planting seeds of intention based on the group’s reflections.
At the End of the Session, Bring Everyone Back Together: Offer a brief dedication of merit or intention, such as:
“May the insights from our exploration of sustaining our Bodhisattvic motivation deepen our understanding and compassion. May the seeds we planet together bring benefit to ourselves, our communities, and the world.”Record Attendance & Submit Notes: Submit attendance, your notes, and reflections on the group’s process to your supervisor via the Reporting Facilitator Feedback Form.
