Flow Game - Round 2 - Harvest

Join Flow Lab - Round 3

If you are new to the idea of Flow Game, please watch the video below to know more about the game and its purpose.

Flow Lab is a monthly series of Flow Games hosted by a global team of Flow Game Hosts spanning across 5 continents. An idea initiated by Amanda Zamparo (São Paulo), this initiative adds a global flavour to the monthly Flow Games we are hosting. Personally, it has been an incredibly fulfilling collective enquiry into questions that matter to a wide cross-section of people from around the world in this moment in time.

In April, we had Round 2 of the Flow Lab. I co-hosted the Flow Game with Arvind, and we were joined by 9 players from different walks of life, each carrying a burning question that mattered to them.

Questions that flowed into the space for collective enquiry in this edition of the game had a theme of life transitions. Each player channelled one aspect of the collective inquiry.

Questions

  • What is my role in creating balance in life?

  • How do I lead for myself and garner support?

  • What does balance mean between the essential and the sustainable?

  • What does an anchor mean for me in times of chaos?

  • To what extent could my work represent my values while being cognizant to personal life?

  • What does sustainable devotion look like for me?

  • What is stopping me from creating things I love professionally?

  • What kind of structure would support my workspace?

Key Insights

  • The need to attract “stillness” and build relationships beyond transactional professionalism. How can we bring more parts of ourselves into the relationship to build a community for ourselves?

  • Becoming aware of the tension between personal purpose and family expectations in the context of financial stability. What is the new lens or frame from which I can look at the idea of “wealth”? What would it look like beyond wealth as merely money?

  • The need to shift from passively waiting for things to change to an active, playful engagement, focusing on kindness to self and family.

  • A shift of focus from future worries to present needs, specifically prioritising relationships as the current anchor.

  • A re-evaluation of the “leader vs follower” dynamic, suggesting core values should be a non-negotiable “lighthouse” regardless of one’s role in the system.

  • What are our existing sources of support, including teachers and ancestors? What is the dynamic between being a student and a teacher?

  • Revelation of a lack of self-belief as the primary internal block, not an external fear.

  • A shift from solving for current restrictions to first envisioning an inspiring possibility (e.g., a team) to inform a supportive structure.

Curious to be part of this collective inquiry? Join us for the next Flow Lab.
