The Noticing Game
Parking: Street parking
Capacity: 12 humans total, seating is limited
Seating: The office does not have chairs. We will sit on the floor, and there are some cushions available for use. You may wish to bring your own cushion or folding chair. Whatever you need to feel comfortable is welcome.

You are warmly invited, just exactly as you are, to join us for two hours of authentic relating, where we will play The Noticing Game. The game is simple: be present, bring your attention and your curiosity. Share whatever is present and alive and real for you in the moment. If you don't feel like talking, then don't! Do what feels authentic for you and honor your authentic experience. This is a relational meditation and an emergent space. The vibe can be anything from silly and playful to profound and it is impossible to predict because it is created by the people who show up, and by how they participate.
