- Its framework pairs a “spine”—clear yes and no, initiating, staying through awkwardness—with a “heart”—receiving, vulnerability, and emotional range.
Field notes
The page describes the “spine” as having clear yeses and noes, reaching out first, and staying through awkward conversations; the “heart” is about receiving, being seen, and making room for emotion. A slider asks visitors to consider where they lean between the two. The organizer also says they have worked with about 2,000 people, a self-reported figure used to introduce the program’s premise.
