Group Session Plan from FUSN (developed by Suzanne DiCarlo)

Chalice/Candle Lighting

Opening Words:

A block to joy and love can be an unresolved sadness from the past. We told ourselves many things to deny the pain: “It doesn’t hurt that much …it’s no big deal.” But unfinished business does not go away; it keeps repeating itself until it gets out attention, until we feel it, deal with it. And then let it go.”

Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go

Check-in/Sharing

Topic/Activity:
We all know that letting go is a highly regarded practice of the spirit. For many, it represents the right path, a path to wholeness and peace. But it is not easy.

Describe a time when you struggled to let go. How did you do it? What enabled you to do it? How did you experience it? How did you benefit?

Or you might describe a time when you did not let go. What was/is your struggle? What has prevented/still prevents you from letting go? What did/does your spirit need to help you let go?

Closing Words:

It is not our job to control people, outcomes, circumstances or life.
Today I will let go. I will stop trying to make myself be and do better.
I will let myself be.
