The Beach Bar Discovery Map is a metaphor-rich visual tool designed to make the invisible visible. It helps individuals and teams externalize emotions, navigate transitions, and transform inner experiences into clear, actionable outcomes.

This A0-sized map uses the beach as a playful, symbolic space to bring ease and creativity into team conversations. Just like a real beach, it invites every participant to show up in their own way. Whether they want to dive in, observe, connect, or reflect. 

A refreshing alternative to the usual serious meeting, this visual tool helps teams express what’s really going on beneath the surface, through movement, storytelling, and metaphor.

Explore Team Dynamics at the Beach Bar

Our teams, like individuals, go through emotional states— excitement, chaos, calm, connection. What if we could see those emotions? The Beach Bar Discovery Map makes that possible.

This metaphor-rich tool uses a vibrant beach scene to help individuals and groups reflect on their current states, navigate team challenges, and imagine future goals.

How the map opens deeper experience

When your client points to the illustration of the sun beds by the beach and says, “I feel alive by the beach,” you’ve just opened a door into something deeper. That image may hint at a need for space, peace, exposure, or escape from a stifling environment.

The Beach Bar Discovery Map offers a visual language for what’s otherwise vague or unspoken. By inviting symbolic expression, it helps clients and teams externalize experiences, align on emotions, and move forward with clarity.

Why visual metaphors help

Metaphors and images allow clients to express internal states that words can’t reach — especially in moments of emotional overwhelm or when the client is unsure how to articulate what they feel.

Engaging in visual expression taps more of the brain, bridging left-brain verbal reasoning with more holistic, symbolic processing. This fosters integration, insight, and emotional exploration.

Studies in visual/expressive arts therapy suggest that using visual modalities can support mental health outcomes, emotional processing, and narrative meaning-making

Group Method: Find the team's vibe

Group Method: Find the team's vibe

1. Explore the map
Lay the Beach Bar map out on the floor or table. Let everyone wander visually through the scenes. Then ask a question like "if you think about the past few months, where on the map would you place yourself in relation to the team?"

2. Choose & share

Each person picks a place that represents their answer or their personal sense of it. They explain what drew them there. Listen and be open to their perspective.

3. Reflect as a team

Take a step back. What patterns emerge? Are people grouped in one zone, or scattered across the beach? Use this moment to reflect on group dynamics.

4. Set the course

Invite the team to choose a place on the map that symbolizes how they want to feel or function together. Mark it, discuss small steps, and snap a photo to capture the shared vision.
