Hi Ludic Liberators,
If you have been suffering from FOMO after missing this month’s Lab on FAILING AT GENDER w/ Indigo Esmonde, I have some great news for you! Indigo is offering the chance to play the games (improved, iterated versions) again tomorrow! As I wrote in my report, playing these games was profoundly liberating for me and made me see realities I couldn’t unsee afterwards. The effects have stayed with me, maybe permanently? (what a funny concept… permanence!) Anyway, that is literally the greatest recommendation I could give for any experience, so, please, go:
ALSO!
I have two special offerings I’d like to announce. First, because I LOVE WRITING EMAILS (could you tell?), but don’t want to overwhelm this list with too-frequent dispatches, I’m starting a secret bi-weekly newsletter called [the slab report]. It’s like this LAB REPORT (the one that comes out the day after the Labs & recaps what we learned), except secret and more special. I have been reading a lot of cool theory books about play, games, game design, existentialism, philosophy, magic, and more and I want to share my findings with you, but only if you really really want to receive them. [the slab report] will also include invitations into little games you can play with me and reports on my own existential game experiments. I’m so excited about it! I’m offering it at the ridiculous introductory price of just $2/month (you can add a tip if you want to 😉). You can learn more & sign up here.
AND…
If you need a more powerful infusion of ludic liberation into your life, I am really excited to offer you the EXISTENTIAL GAME TUNE-UP. It’s a 30-45 minute session structured around an action you know you need to take to move your personal game forward, but for whatever reason, you’re stuck or scared and are NOT taking. We’ll explore your sources of friction and design a mini-game to help this task feel more supported and fun! I’ve been doing existential game tune-ups for some beta testers for the last couple of weeks, and each one has been so fun, different, and revealing! Some existential situations we’ve playfully tuned up include: doing research towards a book proposal, taking steps towards financial health, creating niche business offerings, developing a writing practice, and telling someone that you love them 😱😍! BECAUSE ANYTHING CAN BE PLAYED WITH!
I’m offering the first 10 tune-ups at the low price of $45! After that, they’ll probably go up to $69 😉
The monthly Ludic Liberation Labs will continue be $15 suggested donation and you’ll still continue to receive the free Lab Reports the day after (if you want to, of course)! These extra offerings are meant for those who want more Ludic Liberation in their life and also as an experiment to make my own existence more playful and liberating :)
with jest & justice for all,
Natalia
