Connection Games Zoom Taster (20:00 CET/11am PT)

Why Connection Games on Zoom? • Because we love to play... and even Zoom sessions have been enjoyable and deep (this will be our 7th, and they tend to fill up) • 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 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!
