Unified Playfulness practices give adults space to play, slow down, and tap into their creativity. These practices help disrupt patterns and foster behavior change, bringing more resilience, authenticity, and joy into their lives and the systems they inhabit.

Some ideas to practise Play for Transition

The practice involves offering activities/invitations and creating spaces where it is safe and accessible for diverse groups of adults to come together and PLAY.

The practice is contemplative, reflective and rooted in systems change, which differentiates Unified Playfulness from many other forms/spaces of play. 

Through cycles of action and reflection, participants engage in various forms of facilitated play, including imaginative, movement, object, word, and social play. Beloved Community is a core value, fostering a safe space for connection and welcoming diversity.

Through activities people are invited into Doing more of the things they know are good for them, Doing less of the things they know are not good for them and/or Doing things differently, to create possibilities beyond their current imaginations. 

From personal experience and consistent participant feedback, I know this practice works. Workshop attendees often describe it as a powerful tool that releases tension, breaks free from overthinking, and reconnects them with a childlike sense of freedom. One participant noted it helped them "let go, yell, scream, and be weird," freeing up stuck places. Another reflected, "we need permission to not take something seriously to approach it with the seriousness it deserves." Others said the practice brought them back to when they felt like a child again, "actually seeing from those eyes."
