In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
When we believe that control is the only way to stay safe or escape a trap, it's easy to fall into the mindset that we need to achieve perfect alignment, with each element working together seamlessly. However, this perspective restricts everyone involved to merely the sum of their individual contributions.
We provide an immersive experience of being part of something that is greater than the sum of the parts. To embody a **Gestalt of connection**.
We don’t access a Gestalt by following instructions. We achieve this level of connection by observing and copying those in the Gestalt we wish to join, and processing the entirety of the experience so that we embody the Gestalt. It is easier to access a Gestalt when someone is shaping it for us.
HOW TO SHAPE A GESTALT - think Steph Curry and Antoine Dupont
1. Clarity. Ensure that the next move is apparent to everyone
2. Patience. Wait to see how everyone reacts
3. A Sense of Calmness. If the chosen move can’t be executed, stay calm, and allow another move of clarity to unfold.
The ability to experience genuine connection is a crucial life skill for the 21st century

Some of our teaching members are running this session to give everyone an experience of feeling more human than machine. We experience the whole as greater than the parts. That true growth emerges from embracing fragility rather than solely focusing on resilience. Players will be stopped from acting as a machine i.e. waiting to act until they target a collision they can win. While physicality is acceptable, it should be used to create space for maneuvering around opponents not going through them. Relationships run the play not machines. This approach allows players more time to execute their skills, leading to improvement, which is a pleasant side benefit. The primary aim is for us all to experience feeling more human than machine.
