Transformative Play: Awaken the Wonder Within


Details
Remember when everything felt like magic? When you could turn a stick into a wand, a cape into a superpower, or a field into a kingdom? That version of you still exists — and it has something to teach you.
In this energizing, full-body workshop, we use movement, mindfulness, and embodied play to tap back into the awe, aliveness, and silly brilliance of childhood. You’ll explore themed play stations (obstacle course, finger paint, body paint, superhero dress-up, parachute play), practice being fully in your body, and connect with others in playful, pressure-free ways. Permission to be weird. To be soft. To be curious.
You’ll leave with:
- A joyful reconnection to your playful self
- Insights into how embodiment supports change
- A renewed sense of presence, wonder, and possibility
Come as you are. No performance, costumes, or past experience needed. Just bring your willingness to move, explore, and get a little messy.
