Transmission 02 · A way into working together
What we bring to the circle
One card. A different way to notice what a group needs.
01 / Pick your opening
Bring a little
possibility.
Choose a number from 1 to 78, or let chance choose. Read the card, then consider what it could make possible in our learning together.
A class selection of 78 Group Works cards. Your number stays with the same card; random draws can return a card you have seen before.
The circle has room
What will you bring?
Your card opens here.
02 / Carry it into the room
What could this look like between us?
Think of one small, concrete way to practise what your card invites. Bring that possibility into the class conversation.
