DEBRIEFING:
Every member of the group is given a paper and a pen and is invited to write down 3 verbs, 2 nouns and 1 adjective regarding their emotions and possible self-discoveries during the exercise. Then they share them with the rest of the group. Questions to support a discussion: How was it to have to depend on the others? Was it easy/difficult for you to lose control? Why? How was it being responsible to protect the people in the centre? VARIATIONS
If the group is experienced and cohesive enough, it could be suggested as a second step, the person in the centre to step on a chair, and the circle of the subgroup turns to 2 aligned rows with the arms knitted. Then the person on the chair could be invited to fall into the formed collective “hug” of the other people.
