Activities for Study Groups
Move through the chapters one at a time. Have every participant select one of the questions at the end. Spend a few minutes reflecting on your personal answer, then take turns sharing.
Commit to meeting once a month for one year. Spend each month practicing/reading reflecting on one chapter at a time, and at the following meeting, discuss the questions at the end of that month’s chapter as well as how the body practices and tiny things went for you.
At the end of your meeting, write down one tiny thing you commit to trying and share it with the group. Check in with each other now and again on how the tiny practice is going.
If you haven’t already, join the 12 Tiny Things group on Facebook and follow us on Instagram to widen your circle of support and accountability.
Go to 12TinyThings.com if you want to use things like meditations, screen savers and journal prompts as tools to integrate your tiny practices into your daily life. Pick a meditation and journal prompt to do together when your group meets.
