🌟 Community Practice Spotlight: We Look for the Good 🌟
In a world where it’s easy to focus on flaws, this InterPlay principle invites us to assume best intentions, practice mutual affirmation, and hold space for hope and growth — even in imperfection.

✨ What would shift if we led with trust and curiosity, instead of judgment?

💬 Reflection prompt:
When have you experienced someone looking for the good in you? How did that impact your ability to show up?

👇 Share your thoughts in the comments! Let’s hold space for collective wisdom.

🌐 Community Practice Spotlight: We Value Interconnectedness
We are wired for connection. This InterPlay practice acknowledges that relationships nourish us, and when harm or distance happens, repair matters too. Saying “ouch” and “sorry” are sacred acts of care.

✨ Connection isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence and repair.

💬 Reflection prompt:
What’s a moment when connection with someone else helped you feel seen, safe, or whole?

👇 Let us know in the comments—your story might resonate deeply with others.

🌱 Community Practice Spotlight: We Practice Embracing Uncertainty and Discomfort
Discomfort and growth often arrive hand-in-hand. This InterPlay principle invites us to stay curious, use “yes, and…” language, and release the idea that our way is the only way.

✨ What if discomfort wasn’t a threat—but an invitation?

💬 Reflection prompt:
How has uncertainty ever led you to unexpected insight, healing, or connection?

👇 Drop your reflections in the comments and let’s learn from one another.

🗣️ Community Practice Spotlight: We Speak from Our Own Experience
In InterPlay, we honor our truth by using “I” statements instead of speaking for others. This practice allows for authenticity, deeper self-awareness, and respect for the experiences of those around us.

✨ When we speak from our experience, we open space for others to do the same—without judgment or assumption.

💬 Reflection prompt:
What’s something you’ve learned by choosing to speak from your own experience instead of generalizing?

👇 Share your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to hear your voice.

🟣 Community Practice Spotlight: We Make Space, Take Space

Creating inclusive community means knowing when to step up and when to step back. This InterPlay practice invites us to share the stage, honor historically marginalized voices, and engage with awareness and intention.

✨ Taking space is courage. Making space is care.

💬 Reflection prompt:
When have you had to make room for others—or boldly take your own? What did that teach you?

👇 We’d love to hear from you — share your reflections in the comments!
