Group members will work in pairs or small groups. Take a large sheet of paper and draw out a hill shape. Use pens or cut out and glue on relevant images and words from old magazines to respond to the following questions raised by the video:

  1. What or who are you not?
  2. What is success to you?
  3. What or who eats at your soul?
  4. What can you quit, put down or do less or move on from?
  5. What can you thank yourself for?
  6. What gives you joy or honest pain?

Take photos of the images created so that group members can look at them in their own time. Ask if any group members are happy to share one thing that they don't want to be any more, after doing this exercise?
