During a session that was changed to a pool hall with little notice, the Boamena Movement Manual helped me to adapt well. We transformed the game into a conversation about healthy and unhealthy relationships and personal values. The red balls represented healthy values—trust, honesty, respect—while the yellow balls symbolized unhealthy patterns—control, isolation, or emotional suppression. A foul shot? That became a moment to explore how some values, when taken to extremes, could shift from healthy to harmful. As the game unfolded, one participant reflected on how the pressure to be "independent" as a man might lead to unintentional disconnection from his support network. He had previously shared his dream of moving into his own place and working towards a career he was passionate about. Through the session, he realized that while independence was important, it needed to be balanced with the ability to maintain meaningful relationships. Using curiosity, communication, and trust would be essential in ensuring he stayed connected to others while pursuing his goals. By linking relationship values directly to their aspirations, the group saw emotional intelligence not as an abstract concept but as a skill set that could shape their future success and happiness.
