Set Up: Generally, participants have just moved through an exercise that included greetings or some physical awareness around communication. Then, participants stand facing each other (in pairs) and I leave them there long enough to be self aware and a bit uncomfortable. I ask them to close their eyes, which is usually a relief.<\/p>
The Sequence:\u2028
\u2022 With eyes closed, I am going to ask you to remember
5 things but I want you to remember them through your senses, how they felt, smelled, tasted, etc.
With each instruction, allow them time to be in the memory, a few minutes before moving on.<\/p>
\u2022 Remember your favourite childhood game. How did it feel to play? What were the sounds? Smells? Textures? \u2028 o Let that go. \u2028<\/p>
\u2022 Remember a sanctuary, a secret place, a place you go to rejuvenate or escape. How does it feel to be there? What are the smells? \u2028
o Let that go. \u2028<\/p>
\u2022 Remember your first love… \u2028 o Let that go. \u2028<\/p>
\u2022 Remember your greatest loss… \u2028 o Let that go. \u2028<\/p>
\u2022 Remember your most potent learning. What is the greatest lesson you ever learned? How did that come to you? How did it feel?…. \u2028<\/p>
\u2022 Open your eyes and look at this person facing you. Recognize that their memories were just as potent, just as specific, just as rich as were yours \u2013 and that is true of every human being you pass on the streets every day.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
