At work, at home, and in the community, there are times when you “want to say something but just can’t,” right?
Actually, that’s because there isn’t an atmosphere where it feels safe to speak up.
There’s a card game that can change that atmosphere in just two minutes. With only four simple rules, the “Nijitsuna Card” can change relationships.
Quoted from the Nijitsuna Card official website
- Don’t interrupt when someone is talking
- Don’t deny what they say
- Listen while nodding
- When they finish talking, smile and clap!
That’s it. But when you try it, the mood softens all at once. When people are in a place where they won’t be judged, they can open up and speak from the heart. This card game, which creates a safe space to talk, is coming to Naruohama.
Here it is↓
You can try it at “Osanpo Garden,” held on Sunday, October 26, from 10:00 to 16:00 at the lawn area of Naruohama Seaside Park! There will be all kinds of things, including merchandise, workshops, food & sweets, food trucks, stage events, and more.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 1-1-3 Naruohama, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Isn’t it kind of lovely that a conversation can begin with just one card, while you’re sitting on the grass with the sea breeze blowing?
There are 22 themes, including “love,” “fun,” “healing,” and “work.” As you talk, feelings you don’t usually get to say might come out. Elementary school students can join for 100 yen, with snacks and juice included🍪🥤 In a place like this, it sounds like it could become a moment to reset your heart.
