Two circles facing each other; the inner person shares one intimacy with their partner — a truth, a withhold, an appreciation, a tag for later, or a projection to check — and the outer person only receives it, then they swap circles and the receiver goes to find someone new. The manual's best way to get one-to-one impact shared at the end of a large event, with privacy and choice and not much chaos; it says it works best with sixteen or more.
