Share personally on your own terms · S13.19
Set agreements for a small story-sharing group
A few people want to share ordinary experiences together.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Agree on the topic, time, privacy expectations, and the right to pass or leave.
- Invite each person to choose their own level of detail while others listen without interpretation or unsolicited advice.
- Ask what kind of response, if any, each speaker wants; do not promise confidentiality you cannot ensure.
An example
We each share a small experience of learning something new, with passing explicitly welcome.
Reflect
Did the format preserve choice for every participant?
Next time
Revise the agreements before another gathering if needed.
