Connection is a practice: learn it in play, take it home to the people you care about, and become the gift you already are.
Connection Games is all about speaking truth with kindness in increasingly challenging situations. Lots of truth with no kindness, […] really easy, right? Lots of kindness with no truth? Also easy. It gets hard when you have to be like, I have something hard to deliver, and can I do it with kindness?
I don’t think there’s any way that you can feel a lot of connection without also feeling a lot of hurt, or some to a lot of hurt.
Appreciation is loving the world exactly as it is, inclusive of any desire to change it.
[…] I think integration is two ways. Bringing Connection Games to your life, but it’s also bringing your life into Connection Games.
[…] for a community to work, some people need to do way more than 50%. Some people need to go way more than 50% of the way. And otherwise, you can come in, but you’ll be more of a consumer of connection.
Imagine there’s the 10 of us, we’re running a spaceship, we don’t get to go away from each other for, like, 2 years, and we have to figure it out. Like, that is… that is humanity.
Well, because we were calling it a container. It’s like, sure, a container you can leave. A spaceship you cannot leave, you know?
Paradox is the highest form of truth. And it isn’t.
