Invite each team member to add reflections to all four columns: Starry Triumphs, Cosmic Discoveries, Black Holes, and Dream Nebulas, ensuring everyone has time to consider each perspective.
Once reflections are added, group and read through the input in each column, encouraging the original contributor to briefly explain their note if needed.
Discuss the 'Starry Triumphs' together to celebrate successes and reinforce positive actions.
Explore 'Cosmic Discoveries' and 'Black Holes' to surface insights and challenges, ensuring psychological safety and supportive discussion.

Identify key action items or experiments inspired by the reflection and assign ownership.
Close the session with a quick gratitude round or team check-out to reinforce positivity.
