Go is more than just a game. It is a journey of discovery, a way of living, and a source of wisdom. Go is one of the oldest and most sophisticated board games in the world, with a rich history of over 4,000 years. It has been played by thinkers, leaders, artists, and innovators across time and space. Go challenges you to create territory, capture stones, and balance attack and defense on a 19x19 grid. But it also teaches you essential skills such as patience, discipline, open-mindedness, creativity, and intuition. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of Go while exploring the philosophy behind Go. You will see how Go can be a metaphor for life, where each move is a decision that affects your future. You will also experience how Go can be a dialogue of hands, where you communicate with your opponent through your stones. Whether you are new to Go or already familiar with it, this workshop will inspire you to Go with the flow and find joy in playing this ancient board game.
