Hello Sunni, I am a survivor of gender and vicary violence and am currently working on a self recovery course for victims, based on a mix of techniques and “The Artist Way” as well as meditative and visual thinking stuff (crazy) … so serendipious I today came around this community and found this game that I have been silently playing on my mind for two months every night with the lightening of a candle. Couldn’t believe to read what I have been somehow doing in written words … Will proceed to draw the zentangle now and will keep you informed. Thanks so much 😍😍
Having the central focus allowed me for the first time to connect what I considered individual sources of this discomfort, and such a strong sense of betrayal together under a single force or topic. Having experienced these in my formative years these betrayals by people lead to an encompassing belief of the greater betrayal of life/God/universe as a whole. I’ve spent years attacking them individually and seeing them, my “haan” as each their own and thus harder to attach and see for the force they became together. Thanks for this exercise, truly. ~Ashley
Ash, it's always nice to hear from your beautiful self and I appreciate your insight. I know you've grappled with haan in your own life and it's not easy to work with. Re: your comment about the encompassing belief of a greater betrayal of life/God/universe, I myself have noticed that, in my system, there was a clear before and after a significant betrayal and that neither of them have a clear view. Before, for example, I had a general sense of the goodness in humanity and an ultimately naïve view of what we're capable of. But after, it was skewed in the seemingly equal and opposite way: I had only a grim view of humanity and saw everyone through a lens of treachery. (I know this was a protective function after being hurt quite badly.) But now I see that both views are distorted and, to your point, the Force of Haan is a composition of individual points of view and structures of belief that need time and space to be worked with each her own. It's like a mass of knots that need untangling. As you continue to grow and become more and more wise and loving (which you always have been), I'm sending you all the heart-light and loving-kindness in the world. You're a wonderful friend and mother and person and I'm so glad to know you. Please keep reading? And stay in touch anytime via text.
Kerry Anne, it's so nice to find you here. I hear you on life whooping our asses. It has that pitiless, loving instruction, doesn't it? Blargh. I hope you are faring well? Please let me know how you are, if you'd like.
Thank you so much, Chris. If you work with #gamestorming long enough, at least for me, it eventually will lead to deeper exploration. I call these games 'intersectional' since they combine gaming with self-knowledge and exploration. Gratitude to you for taking a look. :)

I love this and have been whooped by life over the last 4 years… going to use this. I love your mind and heart! Kerry Anne

This is such a deep connection to your gamestorming work and the spiritual world. I love this. ❤️🌈🙏
Oh, lord, Daniel! I didn't realize this was you. How did I miss the number 80? XO, Chubbicorn!
