Happy Place

What is it?

Everyone draws or describes their “happy place” — that real or imaginary spot where they feel at peace. It could be a beach, grandma’s kitchen, a couch with a book, or a place that doesn’t even exist. Results are shared in a gallery where everyone can see and comment.

When to use it

• To open a meeting with a warm, personal tone
• With new teams that need to start connecting
• After an intense period to release tension and reconnect

How is this experience built?

1. A drawing slide prompting: “Draw your happy place”
2. An open-ended response slide for people to explain why they chose that place
3. Drawings are shared in a collaborative gallery — everyone sees them at once
4. A closing round where 2–3 people share their drawing out loud

Tips

• There are no good or bad drawings — a doodle is worth as much as a masterpiece
• You can add a word cloud slide asking “Describe your happy place in one word” to see common themes
• Works great as the first slide in a longer experience
• Pair it with a collaborative word cloud to close
