To Trust and to Tumble
The trust fall exercise is a powerful bonding activity where you stand with a partner behind you, stiffen up, and communicate your intention to fall backward, relying on your partner to catch you. But here’s an alternative approach: instead of catching you, your partner can try to prevent you from falling into the pool!
