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:
