Client/Group progress summary	As a group, good coordination and balance today. I notice a difference in those who attend more regularly. Everyone appeared calm today, moving generally slow, not much sharing, some were absent. They appreciated the Peace begins with me meditation today. Individual connection, feedback, and observation reveals that one just found out about a new ailment her husband has, one shared that she feels so much better after class (chronic pain), one was on time for the first time today, one got on the floor for savasana and put her legs in the chair (huge deal as she has 2 botched hip replacements).
Reflection and self-evaluation	I’m almost at the final report for this and all the groups. I think I did a good job incorporating a little of everything we’ve learned in the workshops.
Final Client/Group Report	After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session	I’m not planning anything special for next time, as they don’t know it’s the last session I’ll report on. We will keep going. After next week, I may recheck their goals, catch up with any new people for assessment, and outline the next several workshops.
