Temperature Readings can facilitate congruent communication and assists individuals in becoming more open. Temperature readings work well for:
- Discussing that which is human in all of us and hardly ever gets talked about directly
- Making human contact with (new) members in a group
- Facilitating connection and bonding between group members
- Making the covert more overt
- Assessing emotional climate
- Demonstrating individual and group processes are valued
- Detoxifying and transforming toxic situations early
- Transforming closed systems in open systems
- Maintaining open systems
- Raise self-esteem
- Changing rules, values and patterns of communication
A temperature reading consists of five parts that can easily be recognized as a "natural" energy choreography. Set the context properly, and as facilitator you can probably lean back:
- Appreciations Rock!
- Complaints with recommendations for change
- Puzzles, Gossip and Rumors
- New Information
- Hopes and Wishes

Appreciations:
Nynke, I appreciate you for your courage and creative spark that ignites new possibilities. Thank you for this site!
New information:
I clicked on your "Donate Now" and bought a couple of bricks - in honor of you and Stephen Buckbee for your reaching out to the internet communities. Thanks to Steve and Nynke!
Puzzles:
Why isn't there a "tip jar" for this site? I know that Nynke's pockets aren't deep. In April I heard a podcaster talk about his tip jar - kind of like at bars, restaurants and Starbucks. If people could add a buck in the jar it might make this site sustainable/ 20-25 people a month? Hey, for me this is less than lunch money! Can this be done?
Hopes and Wishes:
This grows and prospers beyond our wildest imaginations - (ok, maybe a bit further :)
