Purpose of the Lounge

The lounge is a space for making and deepening community connections which we
believe is an integral part of The Compass journey and can lead to supportive lifelong friendships.

There’s also more spaciousness in the lounge for more voices and collective insights
to be shared, thereby creating an opportunity to begin to integrate the day’s teaching while it’s still fresh.

Because the lounge space is organized into smaller, more intimate, groups, this can create more of a
sense of safety for those who find it challenging to share their voices in large groups
- and this means that there are opportunities to connect with those who share the same language preference.

Suggestions for Connection In the Lounge

• Connect through these questions

• Offer empathy

• Review materials and share perspectives

• Accompany one another through activities/processes, for example:

- Conscious relationship triangle

- Transforming judgements into needs

- The inner observer

• Celebrate and mourn your experiences

• Share experiences of trying to integrate The Compass practices/ principles and/or offer feedback

• Explore themes from the session, or any Compass themes(s), more deeply

• Continue to explore what came up during the break out sessions

• Create and connect with affinity groups - activism, parenting, teaching, couples, etc.

• And just be open to whatever naturally arises during your time together
