I think the nervousness some expressed a while back at adopting parts of
certain group's religious ceremonies for business purposes applies here,
too (at the time, the discussion revolved around certain Native American
ceremonies).

However, I have used a "check-in" and "check-out" activity to achieve much
the same purpose you were describing. I think you can find more about that
in the Fieldbook, but I confess I didn't see "check-in" in the index.

Regards,

Bill
