The Trickster Within: Disrupt Stuckness with Play, Perspective, & Mischief

Details

You don’t have to fight your inner critic — you can outwit it.

In this playful, embodied workshop, you’ll tap into The Trickster Within: the part of you that interrupts patterns with laughter, flips stuckness upside-down, and knows how to bend the rules without breaking yourself.

Through movement, games, irreverent rituals, and silly props, we’ll explore what happens when you stop over-efforting and start experimenting — together, outside, and in community.

### Expect things like:

  • Trickster Tag & Trickster Twister
  • Puppet theater for exaggerated self-talk
  • Dress-up stations and identity play
  • Intentionally terrible art-making
  • A grounding open + a closing ritual under the parachute

This workshop is weird on purpose. Come ready to stretch your edges with joy, mischief, and curiosity.

### You’ll leave with:

✅ A playful reframe for a stuck place
✅ More flexibility in body, thought, and spirit
✅ A reminder that joy and mischief are healing forces, too
