During the Rounds, the group helps the individual who is presenting
to become more aware of God in her or his life
by asking questions like these:

Weather           
Ask for concrete details, step by step, of reported experience; keep asking, “What happened after that? Can you say more about that?  What else did you notice? What else went on?”  Ask for feelings:  “What were you feeling?" (ask at each step along the way) "What did you feel when…?” 

Soil           
Ask:  “What inside you did those feelings (that experience) connect to? What personal experiences, observations, memories, realizations, personal values?”  “You felt……What did that connect to for you?” Ask, “what did you do as you felt those feelings?” (both inner and outer actions: ‘I turned my face away’ ‘I decided to drop my guard’) Ask:  “What were you assuming as you felt those feelings?” (“She doesn’t really like me much; she doesn’t want to hear this.”  “This can’t be happening; I’ve done nothing to deserve it.”)  Ask, “Did anything shift for you as this experience (these feelings) unfolded?” “Where are you now with this?” “What will you do in response to this?” Ask: “Can you tell God about what you are noticing about this experience? If not, what stands in the way? If you already did, what happened when you did?” Ask: “What are you learning through this?  How are you changing, growing?  How are you different because of this?”

Bedrock           
Ask: “What can you control, and what do you have no control over?”  “What aspect of yourself are you dealing with here?” “Who is God for you right now?” “How do you feel about God right now?” “What do you need to let go of?” “Where is God right now, for you? How do you feel about that?” “What is your most honest prayer right now?”

Fire           
Ask:  “Can you put any words to this experience?” “Is there an image that expresses your experience?” “What will you do now?”  “How are you different now?  How is your reality different now?”
