Street Training Code/how to

In the streets where you are

Walk
Or
Take public transport
Or
Stay in one public place

Notice what you
See
Hear
Think
Feel
Desire
Do
Touch
Smell

Notice what others
Express
Hide
Do
Don’t do
Wear
Defend
Obstruct
Enforce
Challenge
Customize
Play with
Sell
Make
Carry
Do
And how they move

As you notice, decide how you will respond or not, react or not, proact or not, engage or not
Or
Spontaneously do what you feel and deal with the consequences

there is a way to include the emotions in this process in a powerful way where people share what is happening for them emotionally. when a strong feeling comes up during street training,sit down with them and ask them to close their eyes, focus on their feeling state, containing them as a group. ask them to give a signal when they've arrived fully in the feeling. ask them to describe in pictures and words that place in them. next, suggest they drop down (as if in a lift) asking them to say when they are really in the new feeling and ask them to go below it. don't think about it just see where you get to. Give them the assurance that they have as much time as they need. what usually happens is a release, there is a rising up. Then help them to get back fully in the street again by describing objects they can see. - then it would be good for the person to do something that honors that.
