this exercise is entitled, "give & take." i found an art therapy exercise online, where the instructor told the students to draw a large spiral and to write what it is that they give to the world, and what it is that they take from the world.
here, i adapted that exercise in the following way: draw what you feel are the gifts/talents that you give to the world, and on the other side, draw what it is that you feel you have been given from the world. this raised a LOT of discussion - some hesitation, but openness and honesty.
