• Newsprint, markers and tape

• 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.

The mechanics of the Mobius strip are mysterious, but its message clear: whatever is inside us continually flows outward to help form, or deform, the world - and whatever is outside us continually flows inward to help form, or deform, our lives. - Parker Palmer, Quaker educator and spiritual activist

Question: Can you remember a time when you consciously brought forth something inside you to inform outward actions?

As participants arrive invite them to review and/or add to their journal based on the Welcome Words posted, or informally discuss the Welcome Words.
