By opening the session with an acknowledgement of the recent tragedy in Pittsburgh, Teresa set a tone of care and concern for the group. The reminder to use learned skills was also quite appropriate.

The picture of the farmer plowing the field and your thoughts on it were new and insightful for the group. "The farmer wants to cultivate the whole field, not just a part of it". Your follow up thought on that was that this image can help us think about our sphere of care, expanding that, cultivating it, and when we practice more, we can change.

Your explanation of the group activity was very good and using the chat box for the follow up questions was great (even though not all the groups read them).

Very well done overall. Great clarification of the page numbers for the writing activity and the dialogue so everyone knew where to go for the activity.

Your care and concern for people is evident in your presence right from the beginning. You adapted well to the shift in the timing and reviewing the video content with the reminder to watch it on their own.

Try to ask more open ended questions and allow for silence. Many of your questions could be answered with a "yes" or a "no" or another single word. Open-ended questions would naturally allow for longer responses. Also, giving folks more time to process and formulate an answer will help to enhance the discussion, even thought the long silence can seem awkward.
