Below is a fun weekend activity to do with your friends to fill in the gaps. At the end of the exercise, you will feel more connected then ever before.
Filling the Gaps Storytelling Ritual
Purpose:
To connect two souls on a deeper level by facilitating an authentic conversation about their lives
Requirements:
Honesty, 1-2 hours, and a quiet comfortable space (preferably in nature)
Order:
Imagine that the two friends are Eve and Adam.
1. Eve speaks as if she is Adam. Eve will share the life of Adam as she knows and understands it with as much detail as possible starting from Adam's birth through today all the way to the through to Adam's life vision and goals. Eve will include all of the important people, places, and events in Adam's life that make Adam who he is.
2. Afterwards, Adam will be able to ask Eve any questions that he wants about his own life to refresh Eve's memory of the things that are truly important to him (ie What happened in 6th grade that changed your world view?). It's okay for Eve to say I don't remember.
3. Finally, Adam fills in any important gaps that Eve missed and should know about and corrects anything that Eve may have been misinterpreted.
4. In round 2, Eve and Adam switch roles and repeat steps 1, 2, and 3.
This could be the most important 2 hours of your friendship. Let me know how it goes.Peace,
