Hi, I’m Zoë!

My name is Zoë Ackerman and I lead Runa. I draw on over a decade of experience in participatory design, rites of passage, and embodied storytelling. Originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, I now live in Curitiba, Brazil, on the ancestral lands of the Guarani, Kaingang, and Xetá peoples.

“I loved my game and had such a laugh every time I pulled the cards because the combinations always made sense. The game brought a real sense of wonder and magic back into my life.”

“Ritual grew up in sacred play; poetry was born in play and nourished on play; music and dancing were pure play. We have to conclude, therefore, that civilization in its earliest phases, played.”
