The Game of Life

If you are reading this you are a player in the Game of Life. The assumptions you hold (knowingly or not) about what kind of game life is and how to play affect how you show up and experience it everyday. Starting August 1 we’ll have some fun, kids and adults together, exploring some of the common games we play as humans that keep us from playing in the big, real, challenging, amazing Game of Life. Here’s what we talked about each week…
