Dream Circle Game Imagine a game that changes the way you see yourself and the world with every session — if you are willing to let it. Imagine a game where you do not leave the table as the same person who sat down to play, unless it is your conscious choice to remain the same. Imagine a game that is at the same time a challenge, a simulation, a mystery, an exploration, a laboratory of decisions, a social experiment, and a catalyst for unexpected conversations. Could such a game exist? For us, this is not a theoretical question. For some time now, we have been working on creating it. Dream Circle is an experiential game where players explore how collective dreams turn into reality. Through a sequence of turns representing time, participants make decisions about how to grow their community, what to build, where to invest, and how to develop purpose-driven impact businesses within a small emerging world shaped by cooperation and limited resources. The game relies on real-world data wherever reasonably possible. Behind the game there is also a deeper narrative and lore that gradually unfolds for those who wish to explore it. On the temple of Apollo at Delphi it was once written: “Know thyself.” Dream Circle is but another stone in the staircase of that endless journey.

As you walk in the hotel, turn right from the bar, and you’ll find another bar where drinks are served.
We’re right behind. This meetup is free to attend. Just grab and pay for your own drink when you order to support the bar and keep things cool with the venue.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
