The Power of Play for Grown-Ups is a gentle, joyful reset for anyone who’s tired of holding it all together.
If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, disconnected—or just longing to feel more like yourself again—this 6-week creative course will help you reconnect with your spark.
Through imagination, storytelling, music, movement, and reflection, we’ll play our way back to joy, presence, and possibility.
No pressure. No performance. Just real connection, safe expression, and inner healing through play.
This course offers a soft, structured experience to:
Regulate the nervous system
Nurture connection (to self and others)
Awaken creative confidence
Whether you’re showing up for yourself, your team, or your community—play makes people feel alive again.
And this isn’t “just another webinar.”
It’s nervous system care, creative nourishment, and an emotional exhale—all wrapped in play.
Each week blends creative expression, gentle embodiment, and joyful exploration to help you:
✔ Reignite your curiosity and creativity
✔ Gently connect with your inner child
✔ Reduce stress and self-judgment
✔ Feel safe expressing yourself—silly, serious, or shy
✔ Build emotional resilience through play
✔ Develop sustainable practices of joy in daily life
This course is for real humans who are ready to feel alive again—not just busy, numb, or productive.
Especially welcoming to:
Creatives feeling blocked or discouraged
Caregivers craving connection and replenishment
Sensitive souls ready for self-acceptance
Curious adults exploring inner child work or play-based healing
No experience required.
No talent necessary.
Sweatpants welcome.
Cameras optional.
Laughter encouraged.
What makes this different is how gently, intentionally, and inclusively it’s held. This isn’t about performing, fixing, or impressing—it’s about reconnecting with what’s already inside you, in a space designed to feel emotionally safe and creatively open.
It’s trauma-aware, inclusive, and non-performative.
It uses art, sound, music, movement, and storytelling—but there’s never any pressure to “perform” or be anything other than yourself.
It’s designed for adults with busy minds, big hearts, and creative longings.
It’s nervous-system friendly, emotionally restorative, and soulfully practical—offering simple, effective tools you can actually use in daily life.
This is a soft invitation into something more: More joy. More presence. More connection. More permission to feel alive again.
Let’s play, connect, and create joy—together.

Is this therapy?
This course is deeply therapeutic, but it’s not therapy. It’s designed for growth, not diagnosis. You won’t be analyzed, labeled, or expected to “perform.” Instead, you’ll be invited to gently explore, express, and reconnect with your own sense of creativity, joy, and emotional safety.
The experience is creative, connective, and transformational in the gentlest way. It’s inclusive, trauma-aware, neurodivergent-friendly, and non-clinical. You don’t have to be “good” at anything or have it all together—you just have to be human, and willing to play.
What if people are skeptical or shy?
That’s completely okay—skepticism and shyness are welcome here. You don’t have to show up a certain way, be extroverted, or “get it” right away. This experience is designed to be low-pressure, non-performative, and gently paced. You’re always invited, never forced.
Many people come in feeling unsure, guarded, or curious-but-cautious—and still find something meaningful, even surprising, in the process. You’re free to participate as much or as little as feels good. Just being in the space is enough to begin.
