This activity sends teams on a series of indoor and outdoor missions that will:

• Cultivate self-awareness
• Foster resilience
• Improve communication

Your team members are more likely to retain and use these tools when they’ve had an opportunity to practice them in a game.

Each participant receives a journal to record their learnings and retain as a reminder of the workshop.

This is a fully-facilitated group workshop, delivered in two parts:

1. Keynote Presentation by Paul Pitsaras from The Open Mind Institute
2. Experiential (and competitive) Team Activities by Andy Balzat.

Mindfulness Missions

Players will be led through awareness exercises. They may be asked to connect with their own sensory experience, their breathing, or the world around them with a sense of beginner’s mind.

Creative Photos and Videos

These missions get teams to work together to create photos and videos to apply their new tools in humorous or heartfelt ways. Using their smartphones, teams may capture a moment of laughter, recreate a heroic posture or film the ultimate relaxation how-to video for a stressed co-worker.

Debrief

After the game, teams reassemble to complete the day with opportunities to connect with each other and see the photos and videos created. We then unpack the activity using a SIFT debrief tool.
