Partners rotate so each person has the chance to both offer and receive insights. The night wraps up with a circle centered on animal symbolism. While holding hands, each attendee shares the first animal that comes to mind for the person to their left, and the group reflects on the meaning of those messages using insights from Dr. Steven Farmer’s Animal Spirit Guides.
