Start in a circle mirroring one visible leader's slow movements. Then the leadership passes silently from person to person — no one announces it. Finally, nobody leads at all: everyone mirrors everyone, and the group moves as a single organism, changes rippling out with no source. It is the deepest group-mind builder there is. Players stop asking "whose turn is it" and start feeling the collective impulse — the same sense that lets an ensemble share focus and shift a scene together without a word.

🎓 Tips

Move slowly, especially in the leaderless phase. Speed forces someone to "decide", which breaks the shared impulse. Use soft, wide focus, not a stare at one person. The group is felt with the whole gaze, not tracked with the eyes. Work through the three stages in order. The magic of the final phase only lands once the group trusts the first two.
