SMALL GROUP PROCESS — 60 MINUTES

Choose one person to be the timekeeper.
Decide who will be Facilitator A, Facilitator B, and Facilitator C.
This script may be read verbatim or adapted to your own cadence.

PURPOSE

To create a simple, rhythmic vessel for collective refinement.
The process moves from:
personal connection → collective We-awareness → archetypal I-expression.
Precision comes through sincerity; rhythm through returning to silence.

1. Personal CONNECTION TIME (15 MIN)

Purpose: Warm, human connection. Unstructured.
Students arrive already having meditated — this time is for relational presence.

Facilitator A:
“Let’s take 15 minutes simply to reconnect as humans.
Share whatever feels alive, present, or real for you today.”

No structure.
Simply let the group talk, land, laugh, settle, and feel each other.

2. OPENING — RETURN (1 MIN)

Facilitator A:
“Let’s take one minute to arrive together.”

“Feel your breath… your seat… the presence of one another.”
“Let the field quiet itself, like settling into a shared exhale.”

(20–30 seconds of silence)

3. KINDLING THE FIRE (15 MIN)

Personal “I” voice — grounded, simple

Facilitator A:
“Let’s begin by speaking from the personal ‘I.’
Share what stayed with you from the Sacred World and Generation Stage visualization—or what quality of it you feel moving in you today.”

Each person shares for 2–3 minutes.
Between sharings: 10 seconds of silence.

Prompts (use only if needed):

“The part of the visualization that stayed with me is…”
“The quality of Sacred World I’m sensing in myself today is…”
“Where I feel called to grow is…”

Close with 15 seconds of silence.

Transition

Facilitator B:

“As we continue in this process together let’s take a moment to center in our hearts,

Suspend our disbelief

Release the enchantment of disenchantment

And recognize the mycelial network of tenderness that weaves us together.”

4. COOKING THE OFFERING (15 MIN)

We-language · collective organism

Facilitator B:
“Now we shift to We-language.
Let’s speak as if we are one universal organism listening for what the field wants to express.”

“Speak slowly. After each sentence, we return to silence before the next arises.”

Examples:

“We are sensing how a sacred civilization speaks through us.”
“We feel the rhythm that keeps us coherent.”
“We are learning how to listen together.”

Guidance:

Let silence do half the work.
Let meaning arise through resonance, not analysis.
Keep it simple, slow, embodied.

Close with 30 seconds of silence.

5. SERVING THE MEAL (15 MIN)

Archetypal You · Mirror of Sacred Design

Facilitator C:
“From the heart of the We, our deeper individuality now arises
Sitting together as the archetypal Bodhisattvas that we are growing into.

Shifting to ‘I-Thou’, let us see our circle of friends as the Bodhisattvas we are and offer to them as as unique individuals within the group the same statements shared with the We.

Intentionally project onto your friends the qualities. See them ‘as if’ they have these qualities.

Receivers fully receive the complement allow yourself to own it as a unique expression of the universal”

Each person offers a brief archetypal statement.
After each: 10-20 seconds of silence.
