Suitable for European and American time zones.
People meet in a group, then split up into Focusing Partnerships, and finish by coming back to the group. It is an open group where participants do not need to commit to joining every time. This is a wonderful opportunity to have Focusing Partnerships with different people, while still having the familiarity of a somewhat steady group.
