To provide opportunity to present oneself to the group in a creative and unstructured way

Description of the tool

People go for an individual exploration of the environment and they need to find any symbol, which would help person to present oneself to the group. Thus the symbol should be somehow connected with the person (character features, values, professions, etc.) Exploration may last 15-20 minutes.
Afterwards participants gather in the circle and present themselves, using the symbol. Later on, the symbols might be put in some nice place all together or hanged on the tree with strings.

The group might come back to their symbols every day during the reflection moments or at least at the end of the course for a last circle.
