Lead this 60-minute session with the pastoral depth and pastoral safety the material requires.

⚠ Facilitators only — not for participant distribution.

Participants in this session are carrying real, specific loss — grief that may have been rushed past, agreements that have been quietly governing their self-understanding, and an identity question they may never have had a safe space to name. Leading this session well means creating that safety and being prepared for the full range of what honest engagement with these questions produces. This guide provides that preparation.

What's Inside:

• Zoom setup with specific guidance for this session's pastoral register — camera-off culture throughout, pacing, and how to create genuine safety for the level of honesty this session requires

• Minute-by-minute 60-minute session flow with facilitator notes

• Welcome and framing scripts — how to open without any sense of performance pressure or timeline expectation

• Teaching notes: Three Movements of Healing + Agreements — key points, Scripture context, chat prompts

• Guidance on facilitating the Three Honest Statements practice — holding the space for grief, release, and declaration in a single exercise

• Exercise facilitation: Option A (breakout rooms, with specific guidance for divorce grief content) and Option B (solo reflection)

• Difficult moments protocols: acute grief surfacing mid-session, a participant for whom the agreement naming produces significant distress, a participant who is not yet ready for the recentering movement, disclosure requiring pastoral follow-up

• Crisis resources and pastoral referral guidance

• Full closing script and post-session follow-up guidance
