DAY II — YES, REBAPTIZING & FOUR ELEMENTS

DAY II — YES, REBAPTIZING AND FOUR ELEMENTS

DAILY CONDITIONS

The group agreed to enter practices through pleasure, curiosity, play, respect for individual processes and confidentiality concerning what occurred in the room.

REBAPTIZING THE OBJECT

A disposable coffee cup was placed in the centre. Participants proposed new names, repeated names heard from others, combined and modified words, and moved gradually toward collective agreement.

The group arrived at:

“MORNING KISS CRISIS.”

The process reopened language around a familiar object.

POSITIVE REFRAMING

The Karpman Drama Triangle was reframed as:

BULLY → CHALLENGER

SEDUCER → COACH

VICTIM → CREATOR.

YES / NO QUESTIONS

In pairs, participants asked questions for a limited duration. Answers had to remain YES or NO. Optional witnesses observed themselves observing.

PROJECTING / INTROJECTING

Two modes of relation to an object were introduced: projecting meaning onto the object and introjecting or identifying with it.

FOUR ELEMENTS DANCE

Movement was explored through WATER — fluidity; FIRE — shaking and manifestation; EARTH — grounding, stomping and slapping; AIR — another form of fluidity.

The aim was to search for pleasure rather than manufacture happiness.

Music was also treated as an object.
