Come
Play!
Does your heart know that something is missing in your daily life?
That sense of joyfulness, safety and connection that you sometimes
felt as a child?
Original
Play offers a way to find that again so that you can restore it to
your life! Learn how our culture teaches us to compete from birth
onward, how to recognize when you go into competition, and then how
you can choose kindness, safety and belonging. Fred's stories and
life experiences (worth the price of the playshop itself) will illuminate
the process of Original Play. Then, with our minds at ease, he will
take us to that place of safety where we all remember how to play.
Play
connects us through love, kindness and belonging, and offers us all
a simple alternative to winning/losing and competition. Applicable
for teachers, therapists, parents, families...all human beings.
