    hey, kyle! what made you smile today?

    for me it was seeing how super adaptable this activity is. thank you for sharing.

    i can also see this used for debriefing, with specific prompts

    for team building, might be worth exploring how we can combine each others paper stones, stack them and see the combined result – shared dreams, aspirations, insights, et al

    for continuity, and use for a later activity – i am excited to try combining all the papers, and convert/transform it into a bigger ‘ball of dreams’, that we can pass on to each other (like the snowball toss or group juggle).

    thaaaaanks again!

      I love these ideas! It really is a versatile activity. If you’re in an outdoor setting that allows it, cairn stacking can be a powerful mindfulness activity too!

        noiiiiice! thanks for this, kyle. love the metaphor of ‘stacking’ for a range of topics – time management, to-do lists, annnnnd as you mentioned, mindfulness.

        wondering how we could combine the stones and papers – maybe each paper has a prompt/question/quote/anything that invites reflection?

        also thinking about stacking and ‘re-stacking’, and how this might link to the importance of trying things out (among other insights)?

        • jeWElle de Mesa

          ‘combine the stones and papers’ – each stone gets wrapped in a piece of paper (with insights or other written content), then stacked.
