People value the experience itself.
Paradoxically, they say that it is both restful and stimulating.
It helps them think deeply and work on their current problems and issues.
They describe it as a nourishing, lateral, creative, liminal space.
In their own words:
- "It feels easy, welcoming, friendly, pleasant, curious"
- "Like going out for a bit of fresh air, with different minds, different perspectives, different places, all playing in".
- "Yellow has been good at taking me away from the normal constructs of work. Not taking me away from the challenge, but giving me such a range of perspectives, that when I got back to the problem, it wasn't a problem".
- "It is part of taking care of oneself, dedicating time to things that are different from the daily routine or obligations".
- It is a place for "the deeper conversations, about life, the self, that kind of stuff".
- "However abstract our conversations become, there is always something that I find relevant to what I am facing at work".
- "There is a big part that is unknown, like what's going to happen in each session".
- "I was missing a community of 'fellow travellers' in that blurry area between 'life' and 'business'"
- "Yellow isn't about solving my problems, but it helps me transcend them"
