Knowyourself.me model – approx 1 – 1.5 hours duration – in a sheltered environment with access to the outside.

  • Introductions
  • Short story shared
  • Participants get free time outside to collect small kindling sized sticks for a metaphorical fire. This is also a comfort break.
  • Participants gather together and agree on a set of rules for community philosophy session (one speaker at a time – respect other views, etc)
  • Main story shared
  • Each participant is invited to suggest a discussion point – these are collated and an initial discussion point agreed.
  • Sticks are shared out equally between the participants and each stick represents a contribution to the discussion – one stick = one statement. The sticks are placed centrally into a metaphorical fire. The discussion is allowed to flow and will conclude naturally.
  • A final short story closes the session.
