Origin unverified

  • Where we observed it: The strongest current observations come from WorkshopBank; aggregators are listed as additional observations, not origin proof. (1 source observed, including WorkshopBank.)
  • What that means: we track where an exercise has been observed in public sources. We do not claim to know who created it, or how popular it is.
  • No efficacy claims: appearing in this library is not a claim that the exercise is proven effective. Facilitator judgment and context decide whether it works for a given room.
  • Method lineage: this exercise shares its method name with work attributed to Nancy Margulies and Michael Doyle in our people index. That is a name match, not an origin claim.
  • Corrections: if you have evidence of an earlier or more accurate source, read our methodology and trust boundary and tell us.
