Adventures in Play: an evening of games & authentic relating

Join us for an evening of movement, giggles and human connection.

Real play doesn't come without real connection - a dissolving of the masks we wear to ‘do life’. Play is our natural state and yet, we can find ourselves getting a little serious, hardened and inhibited at times.I f this resonates and you're looking for a space to tease your creative edges, find your personal brand of fun, whilst being seen, heard and welcomed in whatever you bring - this is for you.

Amongst the play and movement, we'll find pockets of time for authentic relating - to contact presence and deepen our connection to ourselves and others.

So come as you are. No performance needed; just you and your beautiful, messy, courageous self!​

Is this for you?

We will be gathering together as a community to create a brave space, with the intention of supporting each other to find the courage they need to be exactly as they are. Although we intend to hold the space with the spirit of play, curiosity and lightness, the exploration of our inner worlds and that which we keep more guarded in day to day interactions has the potential to feel challenging to some. Because of this, these sessions may not be suitable for those navigating significant or unaddressed emotional or psychological wounds. If you’re unsure about your readiness, please feel free to reach out before booking your place.

Venue and arrival time

We'll be hanging out in the gorgeous Moor Imagination Collective in Buckfastleigh. More information on how to find this venue will be shared upon booking.

Please arrive 10-15mins early so we can start on time. Any significantly late arrivals may not be admitted due to the importance of setting group context before heading into the play.
