# Session Structure 10 minutes: Decide roles 5 minutes: Initial sharing by presenter 30 minutes: Go round with questions and reflections from the rest of the circle members 5 minutes: Closing and next steps *Timings are there to be supportive and make sure there’s sufficient time for each of the sections, and one voice doesn’t dominate. It works better if you respect them.* #### Decide Roles Time: 10 minutes Decide on one person to be facilitator and time keeper for today’s session. This will alternate. Facilitator invites each participant to share a brief headline (max 1 min each) summary of a reflection / problem they would like to bring You’ll come to a collective decision on which reflection will be focussed on today. #### Initial Sharing Time: 5 minutes The person whose reflection is the focus shares in more detail. Some helpful sentence starters: - ‘I’d like to explore…’ - ‘I’m curious whether…’ - ‘I’m uncertain about…’ - ‘I can’t decide if…’ - ‘I’m confused by…’ During this time, the other participants listen closely (note taking may be helpful) and prepare to reflect back. #### Questions & Reflection Time: 30 minutes Go round for each other circle member to reflect back and ask questions (max 2 minutes each). The presenter then has an opportunity to answer questions or add any additional reflection before moving onto the next circle member. The reflection and questioning could include: - A reflection on what you heard - Questions to prompt further reflection from the presenter (see next page for prompts) #### Closing Time: 5 minutes The presenter has 3 minutes to share any last reflections and commitments to next steps.
