Welcome & Ground Rules
Welcome the room. Introduce yourself and the experience. Set expectations: this is private, reflective, and personal.
SAY: "Today we're going to do something a little different. You're going to go on a private creative journey. Take your time. There's no wrong pace."
TIP: Keep it brief. Don't oversell. Let curiosity build.
0:05–0:10
Set Up & Launch
Share your room's join link: the QR code and link on your dashboard, or the printed join card. Help anyone who needs it. Confirm everyone sees "in room" in the corner of their screen before starting: the bare whydoyoucreate.com starts a private journey that never reaches your room.
SAY: "Scan the code on screen, or type the link exactly as shown. You're in when you see 'in room' in the top corner. Wave me over if it won't load."
TIP: Keep the QR code and link on screen the whole time. Walk around and check for the badge.
0:10–0:35
The Journey (Solo)
Participants go through the journey individually. The room goes quiet. This is the core of the experience.
SAY: Nothing. Let the room hold itself. Play soft ambient music if it fits your setting.
TIP: Don't hover. Read the room. Some finish fast, some slow. Both are fine.
0:35–0:45
Transition & Opening
Welcome people back. Acknowledge what just happened. Open the group conversation with an experience question.
SAY: "Welcome back. You just did something personal. How are you feeling right now?"
TIP: Start broad. Don't ask about content yet.
0:45–1:05
Group Discussion
Lead a conversation about the experience. Use the prompts from your cheat sheet. Let it go where it needs to.
SAY: "What surprised you? Was there a moment where you hesitated before answering?"
TIP: If someone gets emotional, let it land. A quiet nod is enough.
1:05–1:15
Close & Next Steps
End with forward momentum. Encourage them to go create something this week. Mention the forge for those who want more.
SAY: "The real question now: what are you going to make? Not someday. This week."
TIP: End strong. Don't let it fizzle into logistics.
