Existential courage

Please read this

1. Arrival + grounding question like:
“What did this week ask of you?”
or
“What are you arriving with today?”
2. The stimulus
A short poem, article extract, podcast clip, essay, quote, or image. This week: https://www.themarginalian.org/2026/05/10/zadie-smith-cultural-appropriation/
3. Reflection round
Not “what do we think this means?” but:
“What did this make you notice about yourself?”
“What resisted this idea?”
“What line/image/idea stayed with you and why?”
4. Honest conversation
This is where people speak more freely. Perhaps prompting next session’s discussion.
5. Accountability close
Everyone answers:
“This week I’m practising…”
“One thing I’m avoiding but willing to face is…”
“One small proof I’ll give myself is…”
