Purpose is closely related--needs further editing to discern the relationship & boundaries between these two.

Setting the intention with the group starts from the Invitation.
When an event begins, intention is set with the participants during the Opening and Welcome.
The intention needs to be set with Transparency in order to be ethical and to have enrollment from the participants.
