The Planetary Game
Engaging with the Emerging Impulse

Come and join us for this special event, one of several marking the Findhorn Foundation community's 50th year!

The Planetary Game is a large-scale version of the Game of Transformation. Born at Findhorn more than 35 years ago as a way of representing our approach to life, the Game is one of the most creative impulses to come out of the community. Today players and trained facilitators engage with different versions of it in over 40 countries around the world, and the box Game has been translated into nine different languages.

The Planetary Game involves up to 120 participants in five Playing Areas. Focused around a life-sized Game path on the floor, it provides an exciting, multi-dimensional environment in which we can connect with and honour our individual paths and contribution within the whole, while also engaging our hearts, minds and spirits with collective issues and challenges in today’s world.

Here is the purpose we will focus on and work with in this event:

We intend to illuminate and tend inner and outer pathways of love and grace,
shaping and coming into a higher order of coherence with
the heart of the earth and the heart of humanity.

And the Playing Areas we will engage with are:

• Ourselves and our Relationships
• Nature and our Environment
• Governance and our Economies
• The Subtle Worlds
• The Emerging Impulse

The Game begins with you choosing a Playing Area to work in. As we are all involved in all of these, collectively we will deepen into each of them and learn from the interplay between them.

Within your chosen Area, you will then formulate an intention that is personally meaningful for you, and select a role to play: Player, Insight, Setback, Angel or Witness.

Play then commences and costumed participants representing the Playing Areas use a die, free will or intuition to move along the path on the floor. Different squares present opportunities for interaction, growth, breakthroughs, recognition of shared strengths and challenges, and learning from one another’s work.

Although there is personal growth, insight and healing, the Planetary Game is played at far more than just the personal level. Its effectiveness depends on our capacity to recognise ourselves in one another, to see the world within ourselves and ourselves within the world, and to respond accordingly. It requires us to take responsibility for being co-creative participants in the wellbeing of a wholeness larger than just our own.

We are each a fractal of the whole, of the soul and body of humanity, of the soul and body of the world. The currents of our times move through and come to focus in each one of us. Our work in the Game is to contain and hold these trends within ourselves and, from this alchemical process, to allow the makings of a new consciousness to emerge and give shape to new forms.

The world today stands at a threshold moment, a moment which is echoed in us individually, and in our groups and collective structures. The future is calling for a radical revisioning of our relationship to ourselves, each other, and the whole earth community. The Findhorn Foundation community is consciously engaging with this moment in its 50th year. In the Planetary Game, we too can do this, playing not just for ourselves, but for one another, humanity and our world.

Do come and join us as we bring collective wisdom to both personal and global issues, explore our interconnectedness, and engage our capacity to generate positive pathways and presence in these extraordinary and exciting times.
