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. There is a kind of conversation that you have between the images and the thoughts that have been in your mind. Maybe you'll become more aware of how recent things are setting the stage for you, or how important something from further back was, or how things are connected, etc.

The beauty of Pick a Picture is the interesting places it can take us. We get "jiggled" by the images in different directions that we can easily remark on. What happens can be easily remarked on and can allow us to

The process makes it much easier to go deeper with the things we share than if we were to be asked "How are you doing?" could elicit. the person you are in this moment and

To do beforehand

• Drag a picture to a different location - Select and hold while you move your cursor to drag a picture. See if you can drag a picture to a different location. Then, drag it back to its original location.

• Note that pictures may disappear (and perhaps see if this happens to you and see if you can get them to reappear) - One very unfortunate thing about Miro is that not all of the pictures will alway be showing. As you zoom in and out and navigate around the board, some of the pictures will disappear. Zooming in and out can help them to reappear. Downloading and using the Miro app instead of using Miro in your web browser might help, but this disappearing and reappearing of pictures still happens with the Miro app but maybe to a lesser degree.

Upholding how someone experiences a picture

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.)
