Connection Games Fundamentals

Open To Not Knowing We are not that smart… Humility is truth.

Practice Self-Leadership Value your own sovereignty, dignity and choice. The group will as well, but please push back if needed (as gently as possible)

Invite Connection Vulnerably Please respect sovereignty in everyone else by making vulnerable requests, not demands. Ask for what you want, and be okay with not getting it.

Consider Group Health Please be a deputy facilitator—part of the safety and aliveness of the group. Unless you always caretake others while ignoring self—then focus on your own sovereignty.

Take it Home & Grow Corn How do we take these games home? A wise friend of mine, Michael Smith, posted on Facebook about a Native American saying that if you have to choose between two options, always choose the one that grows corn, something that does something real in the world.
