ABOUT THE FLOW GAME

Flow Game is a powerful tool for creating an interactive reflection, dialogue, and action space for individuals, groups, and teams. Working through a game is a simple way to ground, strengthen and bring clarity and flow to yourself, your life, leadership, and in-form actions. It creates a supportive, challenging, and unique opportunity to explore the present or future in an intuitive and insightful way. The Flow Game was birthed through question. ”What would a good process, for people who wish to develop both their personal and professional leadership and entrepreneurship, look like?” , and the game reveals and embodies that knowing.

History of the Game

     The Flow Game was developed in the mid-nineties by eight friends and colleagues in Denmark - Finn Voldtofte, Jack Schou, Margrete Bak. Ouafa Rian, Mikkel Kolstrup, Toke Paludan Møller, Jan Hein Nielsen and Monica Nissén. This particular version of the Game was developed by Monica Nissén, Toke Paludan Møller, and Jan Hein Nielsen. 


The Game Question

To play the Flow Game you need to have a question that matters to you. It might be something related to work or life, home or community, personal or leadership. The focus of the game is to enable each player to ask a question of importance,  and gain counsel from the game, and also, other players. 

Seven Dimensions of the Game

The Flow Game is based on a set of methods and processes held within the Seven Dimensions of the North American Aboriginal Medicine Wheel consisting of the Four Directions of East, South, West, North, the two realms of Heaven and Earth, and the center held by the question or intention of the player. The Question or Intention of a player journeys through the seven dimensions of the Wheel. The question is held, explored, engaged with, expressed, and experienced with and within the wisdom of player and the holding circle. With every round of the game, the question gains clarity, perspective, depth, expansion, and new grounds to stand on. 

The entire process is alive, subjective, and phenomenological.
