1. Welcome & Agreements (10–15 min)
Create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Explain that the session focuses on strength and stability, not on problems or trauma. Establish simple agreements:

• Sharing is always voluntary

• Everyone is the expert of their own story

• There are no right or wrong answers

• Metaphors help us speak gently about difficult things

Optional light icebreaker (no deep grounding at this stage).

Options include:

• Two Truths and a Lie

• The Wind Blows for Those Who…

• Exchange of Facts (participants place stickers with letters from their name on one hand and collect the letters of their own name from others; a letter can only be received by sharing a personal fact).

2. Mini-talk: Resources & Glimmers (5–10 min)
Introduce the metaphor:

“When many things change, we need something that helps us stay steady. This can be called a resource, glimmer, or anchor — a memory, habit, value, person, or dream that supports us.”

Give 2–3 simple examples:

• “My resource is the smell of my grandmother’s soup.”

• “My glimmer is a song I sing when I feel anxious.”

• “My anchor is my dream to become a doctor.”

Keep it short and concrete.

3. Main Exercise: “What Do I Know?” (20–25 min)
Prompt: “Let’s create a list, drawing, or collage of things we know — what feels real, stable, or strong inside us.”

Offer guiding questions (participants choose what resonates):

• What do I know I can do well?

• Who helps me feel safe or supported?

• What has stayed the same, even when a lot changed?

• What helps me feel calm or hopeful?

• What part of myself do I trust?

Participants choose their format:

• A written list (“Things I Know”)

• A drawing or symbolic image (tree, house, map, anchor)

Encourage metaphor, not perfection. Writing can be in any language.

4. Storytelling Reflection (20–25 min)
Invite participants to choose one resource and turn it into a short story or reflection.

Prompts:

• How did this resource become important to you?

• If it were a person, what would it say to you?

• If it were a symbol, how would it protect you?

Story starters:

• “When everything felt uncertain, I held on to…”

• “When I felt lost, I remembered…”

Participants may write, draw, or combine both.

5. Sharing Circle (optional, 10–15 min)
Invite voluntary sharing:

• One sentence or image

• Just the name of a resource

• Or displaying work anonymously on the wall

Acknowledge diversity:

“We all carry different anchors — and all of them matter.”

6. Closing & Integration (5–10 min)
Reflection questions:

• What did you discover about yourself today?

• How did it feel to focus on something stable inside you?

• What would you like to remember from this session?

Optional closing ritual: one deep breath together or a quiet moment.
