Thanks Chris - I appreciate the tip about counting breaths. Much better
than staring at my watch!

Yes to this…
These days no matter what process I am doing, if I offer a minute of
silence, instead of looking at a clock, I just count twelve slow
breaths. That way you don;t make people anxious and you get a little
meditation practice in. The longest I ever did this for was 15
minutes with a group of 180 theological educators. I counted 180
breaths. Many of them said they had never sat that long in silence
with other human beings before. We did it to allow people to reflect
on an important and energetic conflict in the gathering. It changed
everything, and was indeed the simplest liberating structure I can
think of.
