: This is a question for all who are involved in a Son Rise Program, parent, volunteer or professional. What have been your favorite "Mood Setters" for your meetings? What I mean by "Mood Setters" is the excercises you do at the beginning of your meetings to set the mood for the meeting and help everyone focus on the intentions of the meeting. I love hearing and reading about what everyone does and I love coming up with new ones when it is my turn.

: Thanks,

Doug, For focus and energy, we pass a picture of our son, Steffan around for silent meditation. We then put the picture into the center of our 'circle' and say an intention aloud. Sometimes my wife would do her best "Bears" impression and have a meditation assisted by some soft music. Either of these approaches are well received by our staff and does a pretty effective job of closing out the outside world and "brings" everyone to the meeting.
