## **What happens in session**
The final session. Studios do a personal self-assessment (private) and a studio self-assessment (collective, shared with Baby Ghosts). The studio assessment rates seven areas on a 1-5 scale (from "Considering/Reflecting" to "First Draft of Documentation"): values/purpose/alignment, governance, decision-making/meetings, equitable economics, conflict/repair, program reflection, and what's next. The session covers post-program supports (Ghost Guild, workshops, PS recruitment, incorporation resources) and closes with a collaborative zine activity and group celebration.

"How are you feeling about the program ending? What's sitting with you?"
How are you feeling about the program ending?
Let this be genuine. Some people will be relieved, some sad, some anxious about what comes next. All of those are valid.

If they haven't done the reflection yet, give them quiet time to sit with the prompts now.
This is private you don't need to see it or discuss it. But you can offer:
* "Take your time with this. Be honest with yourself."
* "Where have you grown? Where do you still feel uncertain?"
* "What do you need from your collaborators that you haven't asked for yet?"
* Take your time with this. Be honest with yourself.

**Your role during this:**
If a rating seems inflated gently push:
Push where they need it, and acknowledge progress. Make sure they're not too hard on themselves.
* "You rated governance a 4, but last week you hadn't discussed membership or removal. What's your thinking?"
If a rating seems deflated acknowledge progress:
* "You rated conflict a 2, but you named and addressed a real tension two weeks ago. That's meaningful progress."
If there's disagreement on a rating that's data:
* "You see yourselves differently on this one. That's worth exploring. What does each of you see?"
Capture the assessment on the Miro board.

#### **What's next (10-15 min)**
Help them make concrete plans:
* "When is your next governance review? Put it on the calendar right now."
* "Who's going to be your accountability partner for keeping up these practices?"

Be specific. "You've grown" is less useful than "In Session 2, no one would say what they actually needed financially. By Session 6, you had that conversation and it was hard but you did it."
Be specific. Then let each studio member share something too:

### :star: **Tips**
If they rush through the assessment:
* "This is the last structured reflection you'll do with support. Take the time it's worth it."
If they rate everything high:
* "I'm glad you feel good about your progress. Can I push on a couple of these? I want to make sure the assessment is useful to you going forward."
If they rate everything low:
* "You've done more than you think. Let me reflect back what I've seen over these weeks."
If they're anxious about the program ending:
* "The structures you've built are real. The tools don't disappear. And the Ghost Guild community is there for you."
If emotions come up:
* Let them. This is appropriate. Don't rush past it.
* This is the last structured reflection you'll do with support. Take the time.
### **🏁 After the session**
* Ensure the studio assessment is submitted (goes to Baby Ghosts)
* Ensure each person has completed or will complete their personal assessment
* Encourage each person to finish their personal reflection if they haven't yet
* Share your own PS observations with the program team what this studio needs going forward, what to watch for, where they're strong
* Thank the studio. Mean it.
* Thank the studio for what you learned from them.
## :triangular_flag_on_post: **Red flags to watch for**
* A studio that can't complete the assessment because they disagree on where they are this reveals deeper alignment issues
* Rushing through to "get it done" avoidance of reflection
* Ratings that don't match what you've observed denial or lack of self-awareness
* No plan for continuing governance practices after the program high risk of drift
* One person taking responsibility for everything post-program that's not a coop
* Signs that the program surfaced issues the studio hasn't resolved make sure the program team knows
