Breaking into Small Groups: Collage of Quotes

Tomorrow kicks off the big “Spiritual Pilates” retreat. I’m excited and ready to go lead it!

One of the things I love to do with retreats is find a creative way to break people into small groups. Here’s the set of 42 individual images that we’ll be spreading out on the table as people come in on Saturday morning. Each person takes a card. If you look close, you’ll notice that there are really 7 pictures, cut into 6 pieces each.

Is there a surprise involved with the pictures? Oh my word, yes! There’s a cool twist coming on Saturday afternoon when we talk about the Beatitudes…

So I get a little excited about these things. Isn’t that what you want in a retreat leader? Got any cool ideas around small groups? You know I’m all ears, people!
