Each morning begins with a facilitated cohort check-in over breakfast. Rather than a passive warm-up, this is an intentional relational practice where participants are seated in small cohort groups and invited into a brief, structured conversation. Wednesday’s prompt invites participants to share one hope and one worry for the day ahead. These morning check-ins serve a dual purpose: they build the habit of honest peer dialogue and give facilitators real-time insight into participant experience that can shape the day’s facilitation.
