What this practice is for

This practice creates an offline bridge from digital reading to shared reality. It is intentionally simple. No performance. No expertise. Just honest conversation that leaves people with one small opening.

How long it takes

Plan for one hour.

Steps

  1. Arrival - 5 minutes
    Each person answers: What has felt most alive or most blocked lately?
  2. Opening Question - 10 minutes
    Ask: What became more possible for you this week?
  3. Hidden Rule - 15 minutes
    Ask: What expectation, assumption, or rule is making something feel stuck?
  4. Possibility - 15 minutes
    Ask: What could become more possible if that rule changed?
  5. One Small Opening - 10 minutes
    Each person names one small action before the next meeting.
  6. Close - 5 minutes
    Ask: What did this conversation make more possible?

Reflection question

What happens when people stop performing and start speaking from experience?

Optional group version

This entire page is the group version. Keep the group small enough for everyone to be heard.
