Some experiences don’t arrive out of nowhere. They’re part of a thread we’ve already started to weave — a direction we sense without fully stepping into it yet.
The Tao Game was one of those turning points. It didn’t change my life — because it’s not about an on/off switch. But it gave me clarity. It helped me enlighten my internal patterns, my deeper desires, and the paths I had already begun to explore.
A Step Along the Way
Before discovering the Tao, I had already been deeply moved by Chi Nei Tsang, mediation, and nonviolent communication. Each of these practices had shaken and inspired me. The Tao Game arrive as a continuation, and a kind of acceleration. It came at the right time, as one of those tools that helps us go faster when we’re already walking the path.
Through it, I gained a clearer understanding of my own story, resistances, and momentum. And perhaps most importantly, I saw how the presence of a collective amplifies our inner clarity.
A Game of Depth, Cooperation, and Insight
The Tao Game is a cooperative game built on listening, questioning, and sincere presence.
Each player brings a personal quest: a challenge, a decision, an aspiration. At each turn, a card is drawn, offering a meaningful question. The player responds without interruption. Then the others offer honest feedback — not advice or solutions, but resonances, reflections, impressions.
This process reveals our belief systems, our deep desires, and the many voices that live within us — voices of fear, intuition, mind, heart, and gut.
It offers a rare space to be seen, heard, and reflected — and that alone has immense power.
The Right Tool at the Right Time
I’m wary of stories that say, “This changed my life.” Often they oversimplify the complexity of our evolution.
I believe transformation comes from how we listen, and from meeting the right tools at the right time.
They say « When the student is ready, the teacher appears ». That happen all the time for me.
And the Tao Game was exactly that for me. A mirror, a catalyst, a space for collective clarity and insight.
It confirmed my desire to leave the legal profession and walk fully into my calling — not to heal or lead, but to hold space and accompany others in their own unfolding, though all that I propose now as guts work.
