Q: What is "a Virtues Acknowledgment"?
-
A: It's when we offer the (virtues) we see/hear & say how we saw it.
​
-
Q: What's in it for me/you?
-
A: through pro-active listening, modeling & practical application (the practice, practice, practice) you will experience the benefits of being witnessed with (respect & expect) group boundaries (established together & evolving) protect & honour every one's time, energy & process.
The How Are You Really? Circle is a safe place to speak your truth, BE heard & listen to others, learn to give & receive acknowledgments, the virtues seen in us. You share only what feels right & comfortable to you.
This is a safe listening circle: which means there is NO Interrupting, Advising, Criticizing, Blaming or Shaming.
*A Virtues Pick: is ONE (card)* that is randomly selected (from 100 cards) in the Virtues Reflections Deck as a focus for each circle.
