• Newsprint, markers and tape

• Make sure there are journals for visitors or participants who do not have one. Set out some supplies for them to personalize the journals during the Welcoming and Entering time.
• Write the Welcome Words and question on newsprint and post.

The Welcome Words are meant to set the stage for the workshop and spark conversation before the workshop begins. The Welcome Words for today are a quote and a question.

Say your truth - kindly, but fully and completely. Live your truth - gently, but totally and consistently. Change your truth easily and quickly when your experience brings you new clarity. -Neale Donald Walsch, author of the series "Conversations with God"

Question: How do you live your personal truth?

As participants arrive, invite them to decorate a journal, review and/or add to their journal based on the Welcome Words posted, or informally discuss the Welcome Words. Orient visitors and first-time participants to the program and get a sense of what brought them today.
