...nothing ventured...
Before we begin — this is a safe space.
No recordings. No real names. No clipboard.
Just a frequency. Just you, for 30 minutes.
To find your place in the room — four questions first.
No right answers. Pick the one that fits.
riddle # 1. 2. 3. 4.
I move without moving.
I speak without sound.
The uninvited guest who never leaves the room.
What am I?
I am loudest when no one is watching.
I live in the space between what you said
and what you meant.
I am what you carry when you walk in a room.
What am I?
A door that opens only from the inside.
A key that can't be lent.
You've had it all along.
You forgot it was yours.
What is it?
I'm the last thing you do before you sleep.
The first thing you reach for when you wake.
You know I don't help. You do it anyway.
What am I?

Three quick questions —
No wrong answers here either.
Just need to know you're in the right place.
Are you currently experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or others?
Are you in a safe place right now?
Are you currently under the care of a psychiatrist, psychologist, or addiction specialist for an active condition?

Find somewhere quiet when the time comes.
Doesn't have to be perfect.
Just somewhere that's yours for half an hour.
The jazz will be playing when you arrive.
Les will be there. The mic will be hot.
You just need to show up.
That's the whole job.
