Dani Tonks the founder of Wild Play Lab invites you to stir the playful pot! Find your edge, get out of your comfort zone and fully embrace your weird and wonderful self in the comfort of your own home.
Using play as a tool for self transformation & empowerment we'll explore new ways to unlock creative blocks, release stored tension and create more space for our intuitive self to emerge. These methods playfully bring awareness to our unconscious behavioural patterns so we can consciously dismantle our limiting habits in a fun, accessible and safe environment.
This workshop includes elements of the following:
- Clown.
- Creative writing and storytelling.
- Improvisation.
- Imaginative play.
- Movement and dance.
- Meditation.
There are three workshops in the series of The Power of Play:25th of February, 25th of March and 15th of April.We’ll be exploring different playful methods each week to bring a unique flavour for every workshop.
Join us, your inner child will love you for it!
