Activity time: 20 minutes

Welcome participants as they arrive and ask them to put on their name tags. Help them post their Life Maps or Lifescapes on the wall. Encourage them to chat over lunch. As lunchtime draws to a close, read aloud the poem “The Layers” by Stanley Kunitz, the late poet laureate, an elder, longtime gardener, and summer resident of Provincetown, MA. Tell participants they will receive a copy to take home.
