“Conversations is a great activity for late adolescents in an extended time-frame of, say, a retreat experience or seminar day program. Participants are encouraged to develop listening skills and to make connections between significant life moments and the deeper wisdom that may be found there. In a world where communications technology is thieving human capacity for meaningful personal connection, Conversations, the game offers hope and a method. Designed as a small group process that needs a confident facilitator, Conversations achieves what its name suggests – focused meaning-making through the art and the skills of communication.”
