True the work book or meeting guide is divided into four one hour sessions covering all the steps. However it is not possible to do all the work in a four hour time frame. The fourth step work, for example, can take a good two hours for the sharing partner and new over to get through. Step five is done between sessions, and takes as long as it takes. Likewise, practice at prayer and meditation is done between sessions, and guidance received is shared in the next session.
At the start there is a guide to what is expected. One of those is that both new comer and sharing partner will attend all four classes over the next four weeks. The sessions are so well written that each session runs almost exactly for one hour.
Big book sponsorship four hour steps is based on this, but does have a format that gets you through the steps in that four hour time zone, but it does it by making a start on step four, then moving on. Step five is not done at either meeting.
