Reflection. Leaders may wish to set aside some time to reflect on their own spiritual moments and senses of the sacred in advance of the workshop, either individually or together. You can use the workshop activities to help you explore your own spirituality. Doing so will also prepare you to explain and lead the activities.

Practice. Setting aside some moments to pray, to meditate, or to envision your good intentions for the workshop can help to center you before you begin leading. A centered leader who is present and responsive while facilitating is likely to lead an effective workshop.
