Blind Desire

Set up

Create a strong consent container before anyone closes their eyes or moves. Make it explicit that eyes-closed time is only for sensing your own desire, and that when eyes open the facilitator runs the room in slow waves so only one emerging interaction moves at a time.

A simple flow

1. Invite everyone to close their eyes or lower their gaze, settle, and notice what kind of contact, distance, or direction they actually want without moving toward others yet.
2. Then invite everyone to open their eyes and orient from where they are. The facilitator calls slow waves so one person or dyad moves while others stay still and witness.
3. If someone draws you, approach only slowly to an observational distance, and before moving closer, changing distance further, or touching, ask explicitly and wait for a clear yes, no, or not yet.
4. Close with verbal reflection on what the body wanted, what became clearer once eyes opened, and what boundaries mattered.
