ClosingCircle

=Closing Circle (Check-out)=

During a closing circle at the end of a session, everyone takes a turn to speak to a prompt given by the session leader. A volunteer starts, then that person is asked to pass it to their left or their right, and things then proceed round the circle (or group) in that direction. A participant can pass and be given a turn later. The prompt should request that the responses are short, even telegraphic. The leader can gently cut someone off if they speak too long, go beyond the prompt, or start to repeat themselves. The important point is that every participant takes stock of the session and/or their plan for the time ahead and has this heard (witnessed) by the rest of the group.
