Social Freedom Tribe Games Manual
The Social Freedom Tribe was founded by Shane Orton. The first event was facilitated by Rob Hamshar and Shane Orton in parallel with their coaching practice of taking clients to busy, social places and doing various practices to release the feeling of social pressure so that everyone involved could feel as free to do what they want as they would alone or at their most confident. As the Social Freedom Tribe events continued, they evolved more and more and their range of topics became wider and deeper. These are games that have either been invented or modified for the Social Freedom Tribe events.
