This is beautiful! I have a conscious dance practise so it's perfect for me. I love the idea of a movement based ttrpg

Thank you! I would love to get feedback on your experience or how it works out if you do! I'd like to do another one in the future. <3

I tried it today in a brief session. It was really lovely dancing through the different stages and finishing off with some journalling to reflect. I think it could be quite powerful to do as a longer session. I also think doing it in a small group could be amazing but I don't really have anyone I know whose interests overlap like that.

I'm so happy it worked out for you! For a longer session would you want more prompts? (like even more than I put in the zine). If not that, how best would you like the sessions to be extended? More movements? (Also I appreciate you letting me pick your brain on this.)

Hm. I was more thinking that *I* would spend more time. I'm not sure if more prompts would help that much, less is actually good imo as it's easier to remember and refer to. More movements could definitely work. Maybe even a few different metaphors, or  different biomes? Like an ocean themed one, a jungly one, a desert one etc. so you could pick one that appealed, and on each one the prompts could be slightly different with different art. It would be super fun if you one day made a set of cards - I would definitely pitch in if you ever did a Kickstarter of that. Then it could also double as like an oracle type deck where you pick a card and reflect on it, only through movement!

Another thing that would be cool would be a sample playlist for each prompt that you can access via a couple of different music apps - either hyperlinked for online or QR code linked for a hardcopy. 

Those are my thoughts! Hopefully they might help.

They help a lot actually! This is amazing feedback thank you! ✨
