   The Creative Journey Game© is an adventure in self discovery and creative problem solving. 
This process is a way of identifying your journey, of seeing the ongoing thread, theme or pattern to life’s trek. It permits you to see the linkage between events and people in a way that provides of meaning about self and others.
   This creative process contributes to personal well-being and a greater sense of direction and control in life. 
   As you design the game board and game pieces you clarify moments from the past and outline the future. When you tell a story of your game you link to the past and are able to see the patterns of your response to life’s challenges and opportunities. Sharing the story of it with others can help you understand the context of your life journey.”
