At the end of any City Year meeting, event or circle, an inspirational word or phrase is chosen and everyone puts their hand in the center. Those who cannot reach the center of the huddle can put a hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him or her. The person whose hand is on top of the huddle chooses the word or phrase.
Everyone bounces their hand in a countdown of 1-2-3 or C-Y-G-P and the phrase chosen. This power tool was borrowed from team sports as a way to powerfully bring together all the participants in the meeting, circle or event for one final moment of unity before we close.
If there are guests in the meeting, the Spirit Break should be explained, with the rhythm of the break demonstrated before the actual break. If it is garbled or disjointed, have the group re-do the Spirit Break. It is well worth it to repeat so that you can end on the right note.
