Disclosure · what is sharedrequired

One person shares what is on their heart for two minutes; the other two each name the thread that most has their attention — something said, or a way of being — and the speaker picks one and follows it. Two rounds at least; then each says what they get about the speaker, and the speaker says what they get about themselves. Made for a circling lab, playable by people new to circling, and usable outside it to train curiosity.
