Directions

Each member draws a line on a piece of paper to represent the highs, lows, significant events, turning points, etc. of her/his life to date (and any projections into the future). Each person should indicate peaks and dips and label areas of the timeline to help explain the details and significance. Once everyone is done, each member shares his/her lifelines with the group. The group can ask questions, but each member should agree to keep what is shared as confidential.
