A Welcoming Learning Group
Illustrative scenario. Separate from the Dr. Sherry Ann Brown Completed Example Collection.
The practice
Purpose: Help new participants feel oriented and able to contribute.
Starting point: New participants ask where to begin after the first gathering.
Focus: Hospitality and Welcome, supported by Organize and Connect.
Offer a welcome, explain the next step, and invite newcomer feedback.
Fifteen minutes around each monthly gathering.
What developed
30 days: One welcome completed; feedback requested a clearer resource explanation.
60 days: A resource guide helped responding participants identify their next step.
90 days: A repeatable welcome rhythm developed with support from the cofacilitator.
Next chapter: Continue the rhythm and review the guide quarterly.
