Playgrounds for Symmathesy

Remember those magical playground moments? When a simple game of make-believe could turn into an epic adventure? When learning felt like play and play felt like discovering whole new worlds?

That spark hasn't gone anywhere. It's just waiting to be rekindled. To be re/cognised by all of us as a powerful force for change and transformation.

In this playground, we're aiming to bring back that spirit of joyful discovery—but with a twist.

We want to cocraft spaces with you. Where play becomes a portal to deeper understanding, where games become bridges between hearts and minds, where having fun and facing our biggest challenges as Earthians go hand in hand.

Think of it as recess for your soul, but also as a laboratory for collective moral imagination. A place where we can:

• Learn through laughter and 'aha!' moments
• Build trust through shared adventures
• Tackle tough problems with playful spirits
• Discover new ways of seeing old challenges
• Practice being better ancestors together

What's Coming to Our Playground?

We want to collectively craft a collection of serious games that help circles:

• Map their shared dreams and challenges
• Navigate conflict with grace and creativity
• Prototype solutions through play
• Build relational trust while having fun
• Practice new ways of thinking and being together

The best kind of learning together happens when we forget we're learning at all.
