Reveal insights & paths forward through non-verbal expression

Introduce the idea of Drawing Together by drawing and describing the meaning of each symbol.

  • Circle = wholeness;
  • Rectangle = support;
  • Triangle = goal;
  • Spiral = change;
  • Star person [equidistant cross] = relationship
    • Invite participants to practice drawing the five symbols: circle, rectangle, triangle, spiral, star person. 5 min.
    • Invite participants to combine the symbols to create the first draft of a story, working individually and without words, about “the journey” of working on a challenge or an innovation. 10 min.
    • Invite participants to create a second draft, in which they refine their story by dramatizing the size, placement, and color of the symbols. 10 min.
    • Ask participants to invite another individual or their small group to interpret their drawings. Remind them that the person who has done the drawing does not speak. 5 min.
    • Ask the whole group, “Together, what do the drawings reveal?” Use 1-2-4-All with larger groups. 5 min
