In particular, social noting is used with groups as it allows a more explicit and embodied experience of practicing together as a we. When we socially note out loud for example, “There is….” such as "There is anticipation...there is fear....there is curiosity..." we cultivate intimacy and presence within ourself, but as important, we also cultivate presence and connection with others who are engaged in the same practice as us. We are able to learn more from each other and together in practice, and we can have deeply meaningful and transformative experiences relationally that simply cannot occur in our individual practice alone.
