Hosted by Zoë Ackerman, "This Meeting Could Have Been a Ritual Game" explores how ritual and play can strengthen communities and support regenerative, value-driven economies. Each episode looks at how these practices help people feel connected to themselves and their web of support, with a focus on Mycelial Games, a series of magical, interconnected market games. The podcast also follows efforts to create a real-world digital community marketplace, Mycelios, built on values like abundance, accessibility, and autonomy. Zoë (she/they) is a ritual artist, game designer, and community builder based in Curitiba, Brazil, on the original lands of the Guaraní, Kaingang, and Xetá peoples. She leads Runa (https://runa.school/), an organization that designs transformative ritual games to help people navigate challenges like parenting, burnout, grief, tech overwhelm, political change, and more.
