Connection Games: Zoom Taster (20:00 CET/2pm ET)

Why Connection Games on Zoom? • Because we love to play... and even Zoom sessions have been enjoyable and deep • As a follow-up for those of us who played CG live at the Circling Festival • As preparation/introduction for our Amsterdam Sep 28-29 weekend: https://partiful.com/e/JbBhGF2dyLjr7UNhbsbQ • As preparation/introduction for our Berkeley Oct-6 daylong: https://partiful.com/e/ZUnZBSjU7ZIwEPWd2ySf This event is a gift. Please honor it by playing fully, having fun, and supporting everyone else on the call in doing the same. To make our time together as enjoyable as possible, please... • Have a reliable video and audio connection. Avoid or minimize background noise and interruptions. Make sure your name is accurate. • Come early! The room opens 15min early with the Smalltalk Game • Review and reflect on our container intentions/agreements: 0. 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙏𝙤 𝙐𝙣𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 1.
