Choose a longer horizon
Adventure changes the balance between following directions and choosing what to explore. One Year Patterning stretches Wave II’s month-long horizon to a year. The activity remains concrete: imagine a personal intention in context and consider when to revisit it. The longer interval changes the scale of reflection, not the certainty of an outcome.
Meaning without a sentence
Five Messages invites attention to impressions before explanation. NVC means nonverbal communication; NVC I and II explore meaning through an image, feeling or impression rather than a formed sentence. For example, a sense of welcome could be noticed before you put the word ‘welcome’ to it. That example is a way of describing experience, not a prediction of contact.
A place to return to
Free Flow 12 lets you select the subject. Compoint 12 introduces a personal sense of place or meeting point. That returning reference point can give self-directed exploration a recognizable setting rather than an endless search for something new.
