The witness

Introducing the witness role

• The Witness is a way to step back and observe in social meditation.

• You can enter the role by saying "witnessing" and/or by muting yourself.

• You can exit by unmuting and rejoining the practice flow if/when ready.

• In some practices, such as those that have a spontaneous order, you can stay silent without muting.

• The witness role helps you listen, observe, and be present without speaking.

• You can switch between witnessing and participating aloud anytime.
