Something that Pick a Picture drives home to me is that we each can see a picture in so many different ways.  Each person can see something different from another person, and the same person can see something different at different points in time.  This is something that makes the Pick a Picture experience very rich and interesting to me.  Given that there are multiple ways of seeing a picture, we want to take care when a sharer is sharing a picture with the group.  We want to uphold the sharer's experience of the picture, and go with them to where they want to take us as they share.  For example, when someone was talking about a picture of one seal lying against another seal, someone else said that it wasn't another seal, it was a rock.  It doesn't matter what people would generally agree upon seeing in the picture.  If the sharer sees another seal, then it's another seal.   


(This doesn't mean that another person can't take a turn with the picture if they feel moved to talk about a different way of experiencing it that is meaningful to them.  If they want to do so, they can become the sharer of the picture after the original sharer feels complete, and take their own turn with the picture.)

Pick a Picture provides a collection of images that you can do an activity with. The activity involves a prompt, for example, select images that speak to what you want more of in your life. Everyone spends time looking through the pictures selecting images based on the prompt, and then you share them with each other.

Partake of a visual feast. Look through pictures to find ones that speak to you. What are you drawn to? What gets evoked in you?

Spending time with the images and sharing about them with others is a time for connecting with yourself and connecting with others. The images and what we have to say about them provide windows into our worlds. Maybe we get to hear about how recent things are setting the stage for someone, or how important something from further back was, or how someone is seeing things connect, etc. The images, with their "a picture is worth a thousand words" quality, make it easy to quickly go somewhere with someone and get to something substantial. They also lend themselves to going deeper.

The Pick a Picture digital image collection can be interacted with using an online whiteboard app called Miro, which can be used in a web browser on a computer (note that at this point you can't use a mobile device [phone, iPad/tablet] to participate in a Pick a Picture session).

Using Miro and some way of talking to each other, Pick a Picture sessions can be held virtually as well as in-person.

Have someone you'd like to catch up with? Want to gather some family members together? Want to do a team-building activity to help people get to know each other better?
