The Mindfulness Game

GAME OVERVIEW

Mindfulness is no longer just a buzzword—hundreds of companies have integrated meditation and awareness training to improve productivity, reduce stress and help people operate better under pressure.

We know these can be difficult subjects to tackle in an accessible way, and we’ve hired trained professionals to make it an awesome, bonding experience with just the right amount of heartfelt communication.

FAST FACTS

HOW IT WORKS

DURING THE GAME

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.

THE FORMAT

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

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

Game content

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.

FAQ

Is this available online, or just in-person?

This is designed to be run in-person. Paul and Andy travel regularly to deliver this workshop.

Is this a competition?

Part of it is. The beauty of this activity is the tools and techniques you learn can be applied into a gamified learning experience – where points rule!

Can this be shortened to 1 hour?

We don’t recommend that. The minimum time required is 2 hours, but ideally we’d like 3 hours.
