weave
for the group connections.
one question a week, everyone answers before anyone sees. weave is a getting-to-know-each-other practice for three or more people, giving group relationships the same depth and intention that one-on-one practices get.
weekly · 3 or more people · 20 questions across two phases
how it works.
getting started
- 1
one person starts a weave and invites two or more others.
- 2
weave begins when everyone has accepted. you can start with three people; the invitation stays open as the group decides who else to include.
- 3
at the start, you pick a configuration: new together, bringing someone in, or deepening an existing group. this shapes a few of the prompts.
the weekly practice
- 4
each week, one question appears. everyone answers it privately.
- 5
no one sees any answer until everyone in the group has answered.
- 6
when the last person submits, all answers reveal at once. you read theirs. they read yours. the group reads everyone's.
- 7
one question per week. no one can advance the group by answering faster.
the phase 1 checkpoint
- 8
after seven questions, weave pauses for a checkpoint.
- 9
each person reads all seven reveals together and writes a short reflection. what have you noticed? what do you want to bring into phase 2?
- 10
when everyone has confirmed, phase 2 opens.
phase 2
- 11
phase 2 has 13 more questions. they go deeper.
- 12
same rhythm: one per week, everyone answers before anyone sees.
- 13
some questions in phase 2 are shaped by the configuration you chose at the start.
closure
- 14
at the end of phase 2, there's a final checkpoint. each person writes a closing reflection.
- 15
when everyone has confirmed, weave closes.
- 16
a completed weave is archived in every participant's timeline, with the full arc visible to everyone who was in it.
- 17
it lives alongside every other practice you've done together as a group.
mid-practice
waiting for the last person to answer.
the group sees when each person has answered, but not what they said. the reveal only fires when the last person submits. no one can be pressured by seeing everyone else's answers first.
what's something this group has that you haven't found in other relationships?
you
the ability to actually talk about the hard stuff without someone shutting down or leaving. i didn't know that was possible until this.
the midpoint
seven questions later, a pause.
the checkpoint is where the group reads everything at once: seven prompts, every answer from every person, side by side. then each person reflects before the group moves forward.
checkpoint
phase 1 complete. here's what everyone said.
what does chosen family mean to you?
antonio
people who stay when it would be easier to leave.
eli
the relationships i had to build because the ones i was born into weren't safe.
sade
the proof that love is a practice, not just a feeling.
when it ends
the weave becomes part of everyone's record.
a completed weave is in every participant's timeline. the full arc, what everyone said, what the group was building. it lives alongside every practice you've done with any of these people.
weave complete
this is in all of your timelines now.
antonio
“i feel like i know these people differently. not just better. something shifted in how i hold this group.”
