Would You Rather questions work because they invite participation through low-stakes, imaginative scenarios. By asking members to choose between two interesting meditation-related options, you offer an easy entry point for everyone, even those who may be hesitant to share. These questions stimulate reflection and creativity, making members consider their own preferences and practices.
This approach also naturally leads to deeper discussion, as members explain their choices and learn from each other's perspectives. The playful tone lowers barriers, encourages vulnerability, and creates a sense of community. Over time, regular Would You Rather prompts can help establish a friendly, open environment where everyone feels welcome to contribute.
