The Mirror
Divine Belonging
A true mirror doesn’t just reveal what is there — it reminds you that you are seen. The Mirror teaches Divine Belonging through clarity: when you see yourself as Heaven sees you, you stand in a love that cannot be shaken.
To be a Truth-Seer is to recognize worth — your own and others’ — with honesty and compassion. It is the courage to look at what’s real without fear, because you trust the One who knows you completely. As you practice this virtue, your heart becomes a place where others feel known, safe, and reflected in God’s light.
When you earn the Mirror, you are learning to see with God’s eyes:
to acknowledge strengths and weaknesses without shame,
to offer words that heal instead of harm,
to remember that truth is an expression of love.
This is Divine Belonging in action — a steady inner knowing that says: God sees me. God knows me. And because I am held in His truth, I can see clearly too.
The Gathering Circle
Leader: “Welcome, Keepers of the Light. You are seen. You are safe. You are strong. We gather in beauty, truth, and light.”
Ask the young women about God Instances they saw or experienced during the month.
The Light Offering
Invite the Keepers to share their path experiences from the month, encouraging both successes and challenges. Then, briefly introduce the new medallion and virtue from the top section followed by sharing one of the mentors from below.

The Spark
This Spark helps each Keeper reconnect with her younger self — the part of her that existed before self-consciousness, comparison, and performance. Using childhood photos, mirrors, bilateral drawing, and open-ended play, the girls experience identity through innocence, joy, and truth. Here are some suggested activities:
Mirror Reflection: The Keepers gather around an heirloom mirror and hold a childhood photo and are invited to “bring their younger self with them,” throughout the activity as we practice seeing ourselves as God sees us: loved, known, and belonging.
Bilateral Drawing: Using both hands at once, the girls create large abstract drawings to music. This form of process art softens shame, integrates both hemispheres of the brain, and shifts them from performance into play, freedom, and embodied joy.
Play Centers: Keepers explore unstructured play through stations such as bubbles, blocks, kinetic sand, Play-Doh, shaving-cream marbling, simple science reactions, and open-ended coloring. This returns them to wonder — creativity without comparison or perfectionism.
Identity Integration: Girls add truth-words to their artwork (“She is loved,” “She is brave,” “She belongs”) based on their childhood photo. These pieces become visual reminders of how God sees them and who they have always been.
The Path & Promise
After the Spark activity, the young women will be gathered with their circle (age based group) for the opportunity to record the name of the mentor or quote onto a scroll for their tree inscribed book. They may also select a Path (goal) for the following month or write a Promise (commitment) to complete a medallion. The Path is part of what they need to do to earn the medallion. Encourage the keepers to come up with their own meaningful path related to the virtue or to select a quest from the suggestions below:
Read one verse a day that reminds you of God’s love.
Write down three times during the month you felt seen or helped by God.
Serve one person quietly each week without expecting anything in return.
Spend one hour this month in nature and write how it helped you feel closer to God.
Memorize one scripture about identity or worth (e.g., “You are mine.” – Isaiah 43:1).
Create a small daily ritual that reminds you of your worth (a sticky note, bracelet, or journal).
Record moments this month when someone made you feel you matter—and do the same for someone else.
Practice replacing one negative thought a day with something God would say about you.
Make a playlist of songs that remind you of who you are to God and listen to it.
End each day with a 20-second reflection: “How did I feel God’s love today?”
The Closing Circle
Gather the keepers to a circle once more to award medallions & conclude the day as follows:
Award Medallions: Call the Keeper by her name with gentle honor and invite her to step into the circle. Place the medallion in her hand and allow her to attach it to her mirror. As the Leader awards an earned medal say, “You remembered who you are — and led with quiet strength. That’s what it means to be a daughter of God.” The circle may softly say: “Shine On” or “Keeper of Light."
