The Silent game
This game unfolds like a quiet theatrical play. But there are no roles — only states. Together, we step into different modes of being: alone, together, open, hidden, receptive, distant, soft, alert.
Through silent interaction, we explore these states bodily — not as performance, but as recognition.
We learn to distinguish their textures, to feel the subtle shifts within and between us,to know, with increasing clarity: “This is me now. This was us then. This is the field changing.”
It’s not acting. It’s presence in motion. A shared game of noticing what is alive.
The silent game closes with an act of collective creation — our version of John Cage’s 4′33″: a space of shared stillness, where silence becomes music, and presence becomes a shared composition.
Long before words, long before cities and systems, we lived in forests — and we listened. We didn’t survive just because we were strong. We survived because we were attuned. To the wind. To each other. To the invisible tensions between beings and places. That sensitivity to the field — what lives between us, around us, through us — was once essential. It still is.
Today, in the noise of information and constant distraction, that same field can guide us again. It’s not mystical. It’s ancestral. It’s already in our bodies, waiting.
Many people still use it unconsciously, though they may not call it by name. Investors speak of “gut feelings.” Negotiators sense the shifts in the room before words are spoken. Soldiers scan the battlefield with something deeper than sight.
To feel the field is not to escape. It’s to return. To remember what you already know.

Why Silence?
When we speak, we often repeat patterns. Roles. Concepts. Defenses. Silence gives us access to the field beneath the words. It’s not empty. It’s full. Full of presence. Of listening. Of what’s real, just before we speak it.
Personality
Your personality is beautiful. But it’s not all of you. This masterclass is not about erasing identity. It’s about discovering what else is there — who you are when you’re not trying to be anyone.
Body Listening
Most of us are trained to listen with the mind. But our body knows first. The chest tightens. The skin tingles. We feel drawn, or repelled, without words. Listening with the body means learning to trust these signals. To feel the truth of a moment before we explain it.
Recognition and Understanding
Understanding means grasping an idea with the mind. It’s logical, structured, often verbal. Recognition is different. It’s when something in you resonates with something in another. Understanding lives in the head. Recognition lives in the body.
Distinction
At first, everything in the field may feel the same. Soft. Vague. Subtle. But as you stay present, you start to feel differences. Like tasting wine — first, it’s just “red.” Then: cherry, smoke, earth, sun. Distinction is the art of feeling more clearly.
4′33″ (by John Cage)
This piece is not silent. It’s a composition made of everything that happens when no one is playing. This game ends in a shared version of 4′33″ — a silent act of co-creation, where the music is presence itself.
Bring The Silent Game to your place
This game can be held wherever people are ready to meet —in a company, a community, a quiet space in your city.
You don’t need a stage. Just an open space, and people willing to listen beyond words.
If you feel this game belongs in your space — write to me.Tell me what’s alive there. Let’s see what we can create together.
"We can already feel humanity — and something more.
Not gods. Not aliens.
But a presence without a name,
speaking in the wind,
in the ripples of the field,
in the quiet hum at the edge of the universe.
Maybe it’s what shamans heard when they went silent among the trees.
Maybe it’s what children sense before they learn the word “I.”
Maybe it’s the resonance where stars are born,
where tears fall, and new realities begin to take shape."

About the Host
I don’t really think of myself as a teacher or facilitator. I just hold the space.
I listen — to silence, to people, to the field between us. And sometimes, through this listening, something opens.
I’ve spent years exploring presence — in conversation, in stillness, in the spaces where words don’t quite reach.
This game is not something I lead. It’s something I join — with you. And together, we see what happens when we stop trying to control what happens.
You don’t need to know more. Just come as you are. I will too.
