Howl at the Moon Night
Howl at the Moon Night, celebrated on the 26th of October, encourages people to step outside and connect with their primal instincts. It serves as a lighthearted excuse to release stress and embrace the wilder side of human nature.
Speaking Discussion
- Why do we feel a primal fear in a dark forest at night?
- Should we have scream rooms in every office where people can just let out their animal rage?
- Is civilisation a success or a golden cage that has destroyed our spirit?
- If you could be an animal for one night, which one would you choose?
- Why is wildness attractive in movies but terrifying in real neighbours?

The Task: You are a therapist for burned-Out cEOs. You want to take them into the forest to howl at the moon and eat with their hands. You have 3 minutes to defend your method to the legal department. Explain why becoming a wolf is the only cure for modern stress.
Activity 2: Rapid Fire Debate
Justify in 30 seconds: 1. 'We are animals, and ignoring our nature is making us insane.' 2. 'Self-control is the only thing that separates us from the dirt.' 3. 'We should prioritise 'Civilisation' over 'Freedom' at all times.'
