sisterhood retreat

We did something very similar to this. It's called "In Her Shoes."

Girls take off one shoe and place it in front of them. Someone reads off a question; they are small and seemingly insignificant at first, and they progressively get deeper. Once a question is read, each sister is given a turn to answer it while everyone else listens. No one should give a reaction whatsoever. Instead, sisters will write notes to each sister and place the note within the intended sister's shoe.

It gets pretty emotional, and you learn so much about people when you thought you knew them so well. And you have the notes forever. The alum who brought it to us said she did it on a retreat with a group of girls she never met before. They walked out feeling like they had known each other for years.


I want to use this activity in our retreat this spring. Does anyone have any suggestions for questions we could use? Some we've come up with:
-Pick a place to represent someone in this room.
-If you could give a gift to someone in this room, who would it be to, what would it be and why?
-what's something that you struggle with everyday?

Suggestions?

Suggestions?
I wouldn't use any questions where you pick out someone else in the room. It's meant to be very personal. Change it around instead to "What place would represent you, and why?"

Some questions we used were:
- What was your proudest moment?
- What was your most embarrassing moment?
- What are you afraid of?
- What is something you love?
- What is something you hate?
- How does your life reflect the creed/motto/etc.?
- What is your favorite memory of XYZ?
- What is a quality you wish you had?
- What is something you dislike about yourself?
- What is something you like about yourself?
- Who has had the most significance in your life?
