Six Tidings

Six Tidings is a meditation on letting go of things that you cannot control - much like the changing of the ocean tides. It is meant to be played at the beach, beginning at high tide. It can take six hours to play, in six intervals. (You can play it in less time, or not at the beach, if you want.)

To play, print the zine and fold it using the 8-page zine method. (For a tutorial, check here!) You just need this printout, and a pencil to write on the zine. If you want to run the text of the game without printing the image files, a plain text version is available. 

This game was made with the Electric Zine Maker by Nathalie Lawhead. This zine was made for the Summer 2024 Electric Zine Jam. 

This meditation was written with inspiration from the "5 Things You Can See" method of de-escalating a panic attack.
