===Set Up===
Set Up: Post the 8 signs around the perimeter of the room so that they are accessible to the group moving to them. Ask the group to come together to the center of the room for instructions. Overview that there are two parts to this activity. One is a silent/reflective part when we are together in the center of the room and one is a sharing part once everyone has made a choice for that statement.
===Directions===
Facilitating process: Explain that you are going to read a statement that they will choose one of the 8 parts of their identity to complete it. Each person should be encouraged to self-reflect and choose for themselves where they will go in the room. Emphasize that this is the silent part. Once participants have made a "choice" ask them to share in small groups of 3-4 why they selected that part of their identity to complete the statement. Allow for several minutes of discussion and then ask them to return (silently) to the center of the room. Read aloud another statement and repeat the process above.
