Mindful activity: Fill a jar

For our second gathering, we are bringing a jar (mini glass) for each of you. 🫙 Over the afternoon, you can fill it with whatever feels right. There is no right way to fill a jar, and nothing in it needs to make sense to anyone but you. At the end, the jar is yours to take home. 🌿

Last time, some of you told us how good it felt to be honest and present together, and we would love to keep that going. This time we will let our hands do some of the noticing. Then we will come back together and share what ended up in our jars.

For those who would like to go a little deeper, we can reflect on our moods and how differently we all gathered and moved through the same place. Sharing is always optional. 💛
