There's often no better way to test and draw out our hidden behaviours and assumptions than by playing a game. The Money Game helps us explore (and manifest) the habits and unconscious beliefs that determine our relationship to money and learn through both our individual experience, as well as interactions and reflections with the wider group.

​As a personal experience in a group setting the Money Game is never the same, but varies each time based on what all participants bring to the table. Your experience is shaped by your own relationship to money, the qualities you attach to it and the histories & imagined futures you associate with it. While this can surface discomfort and painful emotions for some, it also creates fertile ground for individual & collective growth.

​How it works

​What happens during the game is quite simple — Over 3 hours, several rounds of “play” in a group of 4-10 people, interspersed with journaling and reflective dialogue — but in keeping with tradition of the game, we don’t share all the details in advance. There is also magic that happens!

Participants are asked to bring a meaningful amount of money that they feel comfortable letting go of, but that is enough to “trigger” their learning. People have played with anywhere from $10 to over $500.
