Thanks brother! I'm happy to share. It is a guided exercise, but pretty loosely guided. For example, the guide may say "imagine a safe place," but will not put any parameters around what that will look like. They will ask questions like "how are are you there" or "what do you feel (or see, smell, hear, etc.)" but usually leave it pretty open ended. It is done in a group setting, but usually one at a time. The guide is not set apart from the group, but is someone who has received some basic training. Ideally there would be 2 such people so that each person gets a chance to meditate. There are also a ton of other experientials that may not be considered meditation, but are contemplative. For example, we'll use art therapy techniques at times.
