The Marble Game provides flexibility and transparency in the economic dynamics inside the Laboratory. It balances the contribution brought in by money, work or other activities and capacities in relation to the benefits received. It has an approach of a game through which we are all brought to reflections about our contribution to the world, its value, our choice of work etc. Have fun and play the game lightly!
With the help of the Marble Game also the participants who aim for a work exchange can still dedicate themselves flexibly and spontaneous to activities they like: creative projects, daily tasks (land, garden, building), workshops, music, massages, relaxation etc.. Also they can choose between works which giving a maximum payback, or activities which offer a maximum of learning experience or enjoyment. The financial contribution to the project adjusts itself by the means of marbles automatically. As result it is possible to participate with a mix of financial and work contribution, sometimes also for free, or rarely to even gain little pocket money if the commitment is accordingly.
While the team members and collaborators are all joining the Marble Game, we also integrate participants when requested, depending on their professional capacities and length of stay. For that we request a minimum stay of 3 weeks, or just 1 week in case you bring relevant professional capacities in crafts (carpintary, construction, mecanics, etc.), gardening (permaculture, farming, etc.) or project organisation (facilitation, administration, marketing, etc.)
Like every community participants, also joining the Marble Game, you can freely choose your own personal daily course and be fully integrated into the community without distinguishing between different roles. All can flow naturally - on an individual and group level. This creates an ideal surrounding to experience real group dynamics together with all attendees and therefore learn self-responsibility while living together. Thanks to the Marble Game people with distinct backgrounds and expectations can come together on one plane. The united experience gives fertile breeding ground for self-realisation in the areas of creativity, spirituality and love, and sexuality.
