A phone can thin a conversation without ever lighting up. Explore what changes when you leave it in another room: how the space settles, listening deepens, and the pauses, hesitations and feelings beneath someone’s words become easier to notice. A simple practice in giving one person your undivided attention.

Clear and grounding, present without weight — a few minutes to come back to the breath and carry on steadier.
