In our time together, we will do at least two rounds. During each round, everyone will spend time together looking through images individually and selecting ones that they feel drawn to. (During some rounds, this could be followed by a time of engaging in a creative process.) Then, we will share some or all of the images we've selected and talk about them. We will engage in this process of selecting and sharing more than once. Each time we will have a prompt of something you can be thinking of to guide what images to choose for that round. For example, images that speak to some aspect of _______( growth / love / work / caregiving / parenting ) that is alive for you is an example of a prompt that could be explored.

Prompts

For each round, a prompt may be provided. You are invited to use the suggested prompt to guide which images you select for this round. Whatever the prompt is, we invite you to hold it lightly. The prompt is not a precise instruction to follow with a specific intention. The prompt just provides a suggested direction to head in, and if that leads you to a direction that holds more interest for you, that's great, too. Take it where you are drawn to go.

A default prompt you can always go with instead of the suggested prompt is to just see what images you are drawn to selecting, even if you don't know why you are drawn to them.

Examples of prompts:

  • Select images that speak to something that you'd like to envision for yourself in the future
  • Select images that make your nervous system say ahh
  • Select images that remind you of someone important to you
  • Select images that speak to where you are headed
  • Select images that connect with how you feel, or how you would like to feel
  • Select images that speak to something you're grappling with
  • Select images that speak to some aspect of parenting that is alive for you
  • Select images that speak to what you want more of in your life
