Cool to experience new people without their defence mechanisms in place. I look forward to next week. The highlight was realising my friends are super cool performers and free spirits.

A great exercise in letting go, enjoying the moment and really listening and responding to the people around us. See you next week!

In the exercise where you make an offer to someone else and that person has to accept it and build on it, I found it was easier for me to accept someone's offer than to make an offer from scratch. It's almost as if I'm scared to take such a bold step with the risk of being rejected / blocked. I think that's also true for when I meet new people or interact with people I don't know that well. Thanks! Enjoyed it! Last night was again a lot of fun and pushing me a bit further to respond to situations and be present in what’s happening around me.

Thank you to everyone who made it so enjoyable! The games were a lot of fun, so much so that you forget your nerves and forget that you are actually in the process of jumping over your own shadow. Learnt some valuable lessons in terms of communicating in everyday life as well... interesting how your response can influence a conversation negatively or positively. Was great!
