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.
