Deep Democracy Inner Work
Pair Work
Each member of the pair is guiding the other through the
protocol
1.
Recall a moment or a say in Act 1
that irritated you.
Think at what kind of energy did
this moment
give you.
3.
Amplify the energy by making a
larger gesture, singing, dancing…
or imagining a character, a hero, a
role
2.
Think of the quality of the
energy at that moment as if you
were an external observer and
make a movement with your
hand to describe it
4.
Introspect the essence of this
energy.
What is positive about it?
How can you use it in the future?
What 2 parts of you may be
reconciliated?
