Getting together with a group any time soon?

Consider adding a gift ritual to the agenda! The gift ritual is a wonderfully enriching, fun, meaningful way to spice up any small group event where the guests know each other fairly well.

The gift ritual is guaranteed to facilitate life-long bonding, and can be a powerful tool for anyone interested in helping people be their best.

To conduct a gift ritual ...

First, ask your group to adopt a spirit of dignity, reverence and appreciation for each other, as you join forces to help each participant discover his or her unique gift.

Then, ask everyone in the group to jot down on paper answers to questions a-e of Step 1 of the Discover your gift section of this site.

Finally, repeat the following steps for each person in the group:

Ask other participants to observe aloud who that person is for them and for the world. (Be sure to take notes as they speak.)

Ask the subject to share what he or she wrote down in response to the questions asked earlier about.

Use your notes to generate a Gift Statement for the subject, orally in front of the group, then in writing, later.
