Agency and Communion
Groups of four or five each design a gift for the whole room — an experience, an appreciation, anything — by first saying what each wants people to feel, then brainstorming with 'yes, and' only, then choosing something that gives everyone in the group some of what they wanted, then giving it. Two hours, and the manual says the gifts can be extraordinary when groups give them across a weekend.
