Connection In Nature: CG at Sierra Hot Springs

Logistics - Book a room or camping directly with http://sierrahotsprings.org/ - We have two formal sessions that are on the SHS calendar (Sat 2-4pm, Sun 12-2pm) that any SHS guest is welcome to join for free/donation. - We may gather for additional informal sessions for experienced Connection Gamers - Your donation ($20/session?) would be most appreciated Connection Games Workshops are always unique, but you are guaranteed to experience four things: meaningful connection, feedback on how you show up in the world, a variety of innovative games or practices in the mild to spicy range, and an invitation to build your own adventure by impacting which of those games we choose to play. Depending on how you and everyone in the group show up for each other, we often also see growth, learning, and healing happen. Our core principles are: open to unknowing, practice self-leadership, invite vulnerable connection, consider group health, and take it home to grow corn. When we follow these principles with both reverence and irreverence, in Connection Games and life, unexpected and wonderful things tend to happen. • Review and reflect on our container intentions/agreements: 0.
