Spin The Bottle Topical Circling
A bottle in the middle of the circle; whoever it points at picks a topic and the group circles it for four minutes — relationally, never conceptually, and anyone who hears it drifting draws a small circle in the air with a finger and the speaker comes back to now. The bell rings, the bottle spins again. Invented by participants of a circling training; played with up to twenty-five.
