Pairs look at each other with one named feeling — compassion, say — with no movement, arms at their sides, just looking. Then a new partner and a new feeling, then a third. After that the leader calls any of the three feelings and everyone has to find the partner they shared it with and show it again.

Hold with care
  • Sustained silent eye contact carrying a named feeling, with a partner chosen for you — the source's own example feelings include compassion and seduction, and which are called is the whole question of whether this is safe for a given group
