π₯ recommendation level:
i recommend it, but take it with a few grains of salt. 7/10.
read more below before jumping in.
my personal relationship with it:
in 2022-23, i went through an expand the box (their initiatory 5-day training), a possibility lab (another 5-day training), as well as a group immersion led by a "possibilitator" with a few soul friends/co-creators for a few days.
i also did quite a few "emotional healing processes" (EHPs) and participated in a few of their other practices, such as the possibility teams, played their startover.xyz game and did some derivative practices such as playfight and the sanctuaries of attention game (which i especially enjoyed).
overall, my experiences were powerful and significant, though expensive. their websites are full of great resources, distinctions, experiments, but they can also be very opinionated about how certain things work (like feelings/emotions, emotional healing processes, trauma, etc).
i strongly recommend checking it out, but only if/when you're coming from a grounded place and not if you're feeling fragile/uncentered/easily triggered, as they can intensify this experience and not necessarily give you the tools/support to move through it.
while i believe it's a valuable experience to sign up for a few of their trainings/sessions, i don't fully endorse it because (from my experience) it can be a money hole that leads you to plunge into infinite healing, without helping you address other aspects of your life that might be leading to you being in that situation in the first place.
so unless you know what you're stepping into, i'd recommend checking out a few other places first.
a helpful distinction offered by the fourgames and four facets of integral development frameworks (which they don't use/know about):
they're very focused on short/deep game, missing awareness/distinctions on the mid/long games. or in four facets terms, they're very focused on cleaning up and showing up, with some sprinkles of growing up and waking up, but not much integration of other wisdom traditions and modern academic/scientific research.
they also have a reductionist view of money that don't understand the complexity and design of our economic systems and crypto economies, though they adopt a few good practices such as sliding scale pricings, lots of free content and copyleft licenses on their intellectual work.
i believe they're aiming at wonderful directions with what they're doing on startover.xyz, possibility teams, initiations, gaian gameworlds/gameworld building, and more. but if they were more open to other fields of knowledge/ways of knowing, they'd be much better off.
i also find it (when in its shadow aspects) to be very white/colonialist at times, but i'll leave this comment/discussion for some other time. now, it's still kind of an insular, cultish thing. often times made by them, for themselves. valuable nonetheless.
