How to bring people back? There are many ways, echoing the advice about how to enter the visioning process. You can simply ask people to return to the place they are in, ground themselves and gently open their eyes. Or you can count backwards from ten, as Clare Cooper Marcus recommends in her childhood environment exercise. Or you can use more elaborate methods, again considering time constraints. Participants can return in a space shuttle or a hot-air balloon. One way is to ask people to walk through their future environment, using backcasting at each point. In this approach, participants would arrive at the last/first place and ‘have a final look around at this place’. They can be cued to listen for ‘any final messages that the place wishes to communicate’. You might ask, ‘If the animals had something to say, what might they say?’ or ‘If Nature had something to tell you, what might it be?’
