EMBRACING YOUR CREATIVE AND AUTHENTIC SELF
A Multi-generational Playshop

Discover the freedom and joy of connecting meaningfully and authentically with those you love the most. Parents and their children of all ages often become so stuck in the roles, rules and obligations of family life, that they fail to get to know one another as people and as spiritual beings. Through creative movement, laughter, dance, art, storytelling, relaxation exercises, and meditation we will go beyond the confines of the normal roles we play in life. We’ll explore how to quiet the chatterboxes inside our minds that keep us stuck in resistance and reaction, defending our self images or twisting and turning to please others. Play is the universal connecting fiber in life. Come and have fun, shake off stress and free yourself to move through life with grace and ease, flowing from the inside out. Breathe new vitality and passion into all of your relationships, and discover how the Power of Now can keep you centered, productive and happy.
