This unique activity is designed to allow a mother and daughter (or father, friend, aunt, etc) to learn about each other. It also allows the participants to communicate in a non threatening atmosphere. The objective is to facilitate communication that does not involve debating and issue or discussing a "problem". This helps participants learn better communication by being allowed to talk with each other about non threatening topics.

The participants begin the activity by holding hands with each other then securing their hands together with a ribbon. Now that they are "tied" together they are no longer allowed to talk to each other (or anyone else). The participants then go on a walk. The ideal setting would be a quiet atmosphere such as the wood or the beach. After the participants return from their walk - they may untie the ribbon. The participants then talk about what they saw on their journey. They may be surprised what different things they noticed - neither is right or wrong - they are simply discussing what they noticed. Then the participants may share how they felt during the walk, when they were not allowed to speak, and after they were untied. Again, there is no right or wrong - they are discussing their feelings.
