Connection Games Zoom Taster (Wed)

Connection Games Workshops are always unique, but you are guaranteed to experience four things: meaningful connections, feedback on how you show up in the world, a variety of innovative, mild-to-spicy games or practices, and an invitation to build your own adventure by influencing what 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. Why Connection Games on Zoom? • Because we love to play... and even our Zoom sessions have been enjoyable and deep • As a follow-up for those of us who played Connection Games live with Mihai in Europe (Circling Festival, Berlin, Amsterdam weekend, Montpellier and even Monte di Fusion) • As preparation/introduction for our upcoming events: 6-week Monday container: https://partiful.com/e/6Hzb7cCPNmKVW6qwxXLU? 6-week Wednesday container: https://partiful.com/e/CRscGLCZ2aW6JzB642Nvsee Website: http://www.connectiongames.net To make our time together online as enjoyable as possible, please... • Have a reliable video and audio connection.
