January 26th

 

Monthly 'Playformation' Workshops

It's time to grow up and start making play work for you again. More info coming soon...


 

Playformation is an innovative mix of highly interactive experience-based techniques that are deeply transformative and unforgettably fun.


Playformation Workshops Menu

While each of the following Playformation-based workshops is carefully tailored to the unique needs and interests of each group, here is a menu of sample workshops to get your imagination primed for possibilities:

Being Game

The focus of these workshops is fun...though benefits to body, mind and spirit can’t help but sneak in. Whether we'e together for an afternoon or for a full day, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, energized and with a renewed child-like sense of wonder and hope towards the world.  Perhaps you’ll even make a new friend or two in the process.

Re-ignite your Creative Spark

Whether you consider yourself a ‘creative-type’ who is currently feeling blocked or you’re just recently discovering and exploring your creative side, these workshops will ignite and accelerate your creative process in surprising, delightful and imaginative ways.  You’ll leave feeling inspired and excited to continue in the creative flow we helped you spark.


The HeArt of Spontaneity

Life is rarely predictable, rarely do we live by a script.  Whether we know it or not, we improvise all day long. Each conversation, decision or reaction arises from our ability to act spontaneously.  Come learn from the art-form that thrives on life’s unpredictability: improvisational theater (no stage required!)  You’ll leave this workshop more open and accepting of life’s everyday offers and more confident about artfully thinking on your feet wherever they may go.


The High Life: Everyday Playful Living

Everyone longs for a deeper, fuller experience of life, yet life’s difficulties can often dampen our spirit and sense of adventure. Thankfully, getting that spark back is easier than you might think, for the art of playfulness already resides in us all.  Join other 'life-seekers' for some powerfully creative exercises and games designed to heighten your awareness, achieve a positive ‘mooditude’ and open you up to the good things that are showered on us daily.

Effective, Enlivening Communication

Relating to people makes up a huge majority of our daily life and work. During this workshop we’ll playfully explore effective communication dynamics and styles that can be a refreshing change from communication that is so often fraught with misunderstanding, miscommunication and an overall lack of enjoyment. This workshop aims  to heighten our awareness of others, help us listen more deeply, increase our understanding and share our share our own words in a more relaxed, authentic voice.


The Spirit at Play

During this innovative workshop, you’ll participate in creative exercises and games that can dramatically deepen your relationship with the Spirit.  What did Jesus meant when he said to ‘become like a child’?   Through learning how to play again, one can quickly learn how to get beyond ego and fears, how to be more aware of the Spirit’s promptings, and how to creatively express what one hears.
