Near and True Gifts
Activity 1 – Near and True Gift Audit
Step 1
Take a sheet of paper and fold it down the middle (long way).
Label the columns:
Near Gifts | True Gifts
Reflect first on your Near Gifts, then on your True Gifts, and write these into the columns.
Step 2
For each column, you have two stars you can allocate. Place a star next to the two near gifts and two true gifts that you would like to develop, in the context of what Buckminster Fuller’s quote.
Step 3
Share your writing and insights with someone else in the group.
