Take a moment and let your body and mind settle. If you are comfortable doing so, spend a few moments in peaceful meditation. In preparation for this session on Spirit of Life, you may wish to reflect on how you personally would answer the council questions about the Spirit of Life. When have you felt the Spirit of Life, or something akin? What does the Spirit of Life feel like to you? Do you have other names to call it?

As an adult leader, your opinion may have more influence than those of participants. Therefore, your personal disclosure should not become part of the discussion unless participants ask you a question directly. In that case, be sure to preface your opinion by setting the context that each of us, adults and children, has different opinions, and yours is one among many. Then guide the conversation away from your own opinion and allow participants to reflect on their own thoughts.
