I would like to suggest that we change closing circle. David did a "one-word shareback" that I thought was very effective. Lots more people participated and it cut down on the yammer.
At the very least, I think we should rename "shareback" & "burning desires". Personally, I'd be good with not doing them at all.
After the silence dance, I sometimes have trouble finding my voice. Maybe we could do a song or chant together, then have announcements, then break up to let everyone chat -- which is what we seem to want to do.
Thanks to everyone for the sacred dance!!!
