Hello folks!
Who here played in/engaged with the original The Zone of Authenticity installation?

I am gathering stories about people's experiences. Let me know if you'd be interested in sharing yours anonymously or otherwise!

(Also very open to hearing from folks whose experiences have been with workshops I've hosted or with Camille's and my Authentic Connection deck!)

The order is placed, but there is still time!

We ordered some extra decks for those of you who haven’t ordered yours yet.

Each card has a unique affirmation/nourishing statements + a Core Question and Go Deeper Question.

Meant to be played solo or in groups or 2+ 💛🎉✨ While the cards are mostly written at a level accessible to adolescents and adults, there are handful of questions that kiddos can definitely participate in too!

Additionally, these could be a great resource for any of my friends who are coaches, helping professionals, teachers, space holders, readers, or anyone who has a restaurant or coffee shop that wants a great addition to the vibe.

Would love for you to experience this creation that’s been in progress for a couple of years.

More recently, in collaboration with Camille Newsom who has created beautiful artwork and done some lovely design with the deck.

Big news today 🥹 There is one small part of the wider Zone of Authenticity that has been on my heart for awhile. A set of Authentic Connection Cards that I have been sharing as part of the installation for the past two years. Originally created for Art Prize

Over the last couple months, I have been editing, reimagining, and adding questions and crafting affirmations for each individual card.

I’ve been collaborating with artist/designer, Camille Newsom, and she’s created five unique collages and icons to represent the five categories the cards are divided into. They are beautiful and so reflective of the original intentions of this installation!

Well, these cards are now available for pre-order 🎉💛✨ Meaning, you can order them as gifts, to have at home, to share at work, to bring to community or workshops or anywhere else you feel authentic connection might be necessary.

They can be played with alone as reflection and exploration cards or they can be played with others as a way to connect, bloom, and be human together in a world that increasingly asks us to be disconnected.

As always, my intent is to create a rich, true, warm space where we can be embodied and authentic.

I hope you’ll play.

Head to whitneydawn.com/zoa to pre-order. Delivery or pick up in GR or Columbus by mid to late December.

Use the code PRESENCE through Monday for a discount. 💛

I am beyond honored to have won the Juried Award in the Installation category - a tie with ‘The Art of Disruption’ by DisArt - for The Zone of Authenticity.

I am humbled. I am blown away. I am likely still in shock. I am grateful. I am massively appreciative of all the folks who inspired me, donated materials, and helped me set up, tear down, and set up again. I am excited. I am scared because I feel like something big is coming. Above all, I want the momentum, energy, and authenticity to continue.

For months now, I have been seeking a pause to gather energy and inspiration for the next phase and season of my life. I am currently taking time to be present with family and go within to explore all of what I’m feeling and to process thoughts, words, and emotions.

We are in Sedona celebrating our daughter Sedona’s 1st birthday. Our vacation group goes from 11 to 3 tomorrow and I hope to bask in the sunshine, visit with the red rocks, and let inspiration wash over me. I don’t know what’s next for ‘The Zone’ BUT I do have permission to leave it up until Sunday. If you’d like to come celebrate - stay tuned. I’d love to gather and dance as I take it down.

I may have some elegant, lovely way to express myself further when I get home, but for now - thank you for being here, reading this, and believing in me and/or this message of authentic living 💛

What could be next? (Really, I’m asking 🙃)
