This beautiful game is a fun interactive experience beginning in the mind and ending in the heart.
It is for anyone seeking to find Joy, self love and balance in their lives. What better way than through the gift of sharing stories as one playfully journeys around the board. Simply throw the dice, follow the fun prompts and share a little about yourself in a light hearted way.
This game is also filled with thought provoking activities and questions to ponder which can be done alone or as a group, connecting to the heart of the matter and deepening relationship to ourselves and each other.
Be prepared for a lot of laughs.
This game is an extension to "A Return to Love Game" and offers a deeper exploration into relationship with self and others. The aim of these games is not focused on winning but rather about exploring the journey into the heart and for everyone to get home to this place together through honest caring and sharing. This game explores balancing the mind with the heart in a wonderfully connective way through laughter and honest communication. There are 13 opportunities to "All Play," this means that all players get to share on a given prompt.
As with the Return to Love Game there is plenty of reflective material included to work with as a group or alone.
This game has also been left blank so as one can colour in their own patterns and make it individually your own.
A personal fun favourite as communication is the key to our freedom and literally a game changer.
