During our retreats we work on a lot of the problems that we have. ie communication, recuritment attitudes, etc. the typical stuff. But the closing night of our retreat we do a candle passing. We do it in the dark, with tissues in the center. We go around and talk about stuff in our personal lives that we need to get out, or our frustrations on anything. The person with the candle is the only one allowed to speak. We also invoke silence on it. NOTHING can EVER be said about what was said again, it stays in that circle. We usually go around twice (we have 30 members). It really brings us closer together and helps remind us of the powerful nature of sisterhood. We all cry and everyone is ready to get some work done on post-retreat momentum.
Also, bowling, (is this the kind of event you mean?) We all get the nasty shoes hang out with middle school kids and scream like idiots. It is so much fun. We get really loud and people look at us funny, esp w/the letters on. We are like a side show, but no one can bowl so why not go, sides it is cheap!
