Many engagement groups adopt a similar structure which has been found to help make the group a safe space for sharing. Sessions usually open with a reminder of the group covenant and some kind of ritual (maybe a candle-lighting, a reading, a meditation) which sets the tone and centres the group.
Before moving onto the activity which forms the central focus for the group there is a “check-in” by each participant (briefly stating how you are).
The core of the session can be conversation, reflection, or a shared project of some kind. In its simplest form it is people sharing their insights and spiritual journeys with one another. See the quotes/articles on this site for details of other groups. The group typically closes with a “check-out”.
