Instant Replays
What fumble from your past is now holding you back today?
Interactive games, writing and role-play are the cornerstones of this group workshop. Students revisit a painful experience from their past where they were victimized by someone. By recreating the event, rewriting and then switching roles with the perpetrator, students gain a new insight to old habits that are holding them back, and new choices are offered. It’s also a great way to integrate specific programming topics or campus issues.

Objectives:
• Explore the labels of victim and perpetrator • Experience empowerment and self awareness • Free up energy from releasing resentments • Have fun
