We are doing something different for a change this THURSDAY FROM 5:00 -9:00 PM by launching a board game called ESCAPE FROM SAMSARA - created and designed by CATHERINE RAPHAELY.
Please pop in and come and play the game - Catherine will be here to explain the game and to host the event.
YOU CAN CHEAT BUT IT WON’T HELP YOU.
ESCAPE .FROM SAMSARA
SAM-WHAT NOW? WHAT, YOU’RE WONDERING, IS ESCAPE FROM SAMSARA?
Samsara is the Sanskrit word meaning “a wandering through’, referring to the passage through many states of existence in the eternal cycle of reincarnation.
SO WHERE ARE THE BRAKES ON THIS THING?
Ah, this is where the game comes in. The idea is that we will continue to find ourselves on this wheel (in other words, our earthly experience. Until we achieve enlightenment.
AND, HOW DO WE DO THIS?
By learning our lessons, of course. As Catherine Raphaely, the creative mind behind the concept explains, “The game is very much like life in that one comes to the game with your pre-determined karma and must attempt to consciously self-determine your escape out of Samsara.”
“This is an unusual game in that, as in life, you need to balance self-determination and self-preservation – the competitive elements with authenticity and fairness although this may not always seem as if it is in ones best interests.”
- Catherine Raphaely, Escape From Samsara creator
