We invite you to join us in making a contribution to the world situation which will be transformative both on individual and collective levels.
The Planetary Game is a large-scale version of the Game of Transformation. Involving up to 120 participants in five Playing Areas, it weaves together elements of innovative group work and ritual in a sacred theatre setting.
The Planetary Game is an invocation of spiritual partnership, inspiration and grace that allows the plan of love, light and power to illuminate the minds, hearts, choices and actions of humanity.
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 - turbulence and transition, peril and promise - move through and come to focus in each one of us. We have a unique opportunity and task: 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.
This is what we aim to do in the Planetary Game: to become alchemical containers, individually and together, and to bring forth new aspects and expressions of wholeness in ourselves, our relationships, our work, our finances and governance, and our connections to the earth. It is an opportunity for us to allow a soul-full shift, letting this express in and through each one of us, uniquely, as well as through the Planetary Game group. In this way we also contribute to grounding new holistic patterns of consciousness and action in the world, patterns that honour the diversity that we each bring to the ecology of our shared planetary life.
This is not something we all yet know how to do. There is no definitive recipe for the alchemical process of turning lead into gold! The Planetary Game will be a process of discovery and exploration that requires us to bring all our experience, wisdom and intention present.
We would like this Planetary Game to be a living prayer and active blessing, in which we ourselves become the prayer, become the blessing. We invite you to join us and add your passion, power and purpose to the sacred pageantry and world work that we will co-create together as we engage our collective capacity to generate positive pathways and presence in today’s changing world.
The Game will begin with you choosing one of the five Playing Areas to work in. Each Playing Area represents a particular aspect of human activity. As we are all involved in all of them, 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 the role you want to take: 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 a life-sized Game 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.
Those familiar with the Transformation Game know its remarkable ability to lovingly and accurately reach to the heart of any issue and provide valuable options for change. With grace, wisdom, and humor we can catalyse inner resources, and empower each other to find loving, innovative, and soul-infused ways to respond to the promise and challenge of this time on Earth.
The Purpose and Areas of play that we will be working with this year are:
We intend to cultivate a spirit of partnership with the sacred within
• ourselves
• our relationships
• our work
• our collective structures
• nature and our environment
allowing and bringing forth new patterns of consciousness and expressions of wholeness.
