In this short facilitation segment, Tom Krieglstein leads participants through a final, high‑energy round of an engagement workshop. He asks them to imagine they have forgotten school supplies and must go to Target, where the sliding doors open to reveal a long‑lost best friend. The prompt emphasizes vivid sensory details—recognizing familiar shoes, clothing, and the rush of emotion in the stomach—and invites participants to release that excitement through any physical expression they choose (hug, scream, kiss, punch, etc.). The exercise is designed to spark spontaneous emotional and bodily release, reinforcing the workshop’s theme of connection and embodied interaction.
