OPEN INVITATIONS

“We need trickster approaches, we need ways of dancing away, or dancing to, fugitive spaces; dancing to sanctuaries where we can shape-shift. Grieving, mourning, even allowing ourselves to partake in pleasurable activities in the face of the storm.”

The Adaptation Game (TAG)

Hosts: Bridget Mullins & TAG Co-facilitators

Collaborative immersion in location-specific scenarios that increase awareness of local climate risks and government programs

As a trained facilitator for The Adaptation Game, I offer a playful-serious workshop designed to simulate the next 10 years of climate change in your town. TAG helps participants grow knowledge, imagination, connection, and agency. Using global climate science and local experience, it empowers individuals and communities to act together.

TAG is particularly designed for use by local governments. If you’re interested in becoming one of the many councils using TAG, reach out. I will work with you to create specific climate risk scenarios, train your team as TAG facilitators, and ensure a smooth roll-out in your community.

  • I joined the series with a desire to understand the IDGs, as well as how they relate to my work at Turning Ground. Through masterfully guided group processes, curated content and Miro magic, Mel and Bridget offered a highly relevant and relational way of making personal contact with the IDGs. I'd highly recommend this to individuals and communities seeking to understand how the IDGs can be understood and integrated meaningfully.

    Al Jeffery, Director, Turning Ground and Regenerative Minds

  • Thoroughly enjoyed how carefully crafted, well-designed, and safely held this IDG short course was. It reaffirmed my belief that we can't achieve the SDGs without embodying the IDGs. Ngā mihi nui & thank you!

    Jade Tang-Taylor, Co-Founder, Speculative Futures Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland

  • Bridget and Mel’s facilitation is both beautifully crafted and deeply human. Their ability to hold space, actively listen, and weave participant experiences into the content was excellent.
