All sessions begin with a brief orientation followed by the introduction of a key concept for ~20 minutes. Following the didactic teaching, a 30-minute interactive, small group session (~six people per small group) provides an opportunity to reflect on and discuss the concepts. Sessions end with a 30-minute full group Q/A and discussion period.
RECORDINGS of all sessions run ~60 minutes and include the initial didactic teaching component and the full group Q/A and discussion period (the small group sessions are not recorded). A Discussion/Reflection Guide is provided and allows individuals or groups to replicate the live experience by creating their own small group reflection/discussion conversations.
