Earlier today, I had the honour of facilitating a Flow Game experience for the learning community of the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) - Kochi chapter.
I was excited to bring the Flow Game to Kerala for the first time. And it was made sweeter by the fact that the group was keenly invested in the art of facilitation.
One of the many gifts of playing Flow Game is a deepening and sharpening of questions that matter to you. Being the first Flow Game experience for all the participants in today’s game, we spent time in Question Cafe to refine and sharpen the questions that each person brought to the game.
Soon you realise that no question is really personal. The deeper one goes into their own questions, the more universal it becomes and it resonates with the whole group. Each person becomes a channel for a certain aspect of the theme to emerge into the collective space.
Some questions that deeply resonated with me in today’s game are:
“What are the deepest fears that that is stopping me from expanding my venture to its fullest?”
“How can I engage with the fear of navigating an unchartered path?”
“What are my fears and how do I overcome to be truly happy?”
“Why am I afraid to start over?”
Over the 2.5 hours, we connected with each other at a deeper level tapping into the collective intuitive wisdom of the group members in moving from the question to the quest that it is pointing each of us towards.
I am once again in touch with the power of discovering and staying with great questions. It is truly an art in itself.
It was heartening to read some of the reflections that the group shared at the end of the Flow Game.
