What happens in an Affinity Group?
People share what they are thinking and feeling in the moment. They are encouraged to share from the heart about anything that seems important to them. When one person shares, the others in the group listen in silence, holding a space of unconditional love and acceptance for them. If members find themselves making judgments about someone’s sharing, they are asked to become aware of their judgments, gently put them aside, and bring their attention back to the person speaking.
