Light the chalice and share these words from Fred Rogers:

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.

Call attention to the covenant you have posted and ask participants to reaffirm their willingness to let it guide your time together.
