We believe that play is transformative.
Play unlocks creativity and generates ideas. It encourages wonder and curiosity, connection and reflection. Play re-energises and reinvents, and allows us to see the familiar with fresh eyes. Play helps us to cope with uncertainty and makes us more resilient to the changes and shocks that life throws at us.
Our workshops give adults space to rediscover the power of play.
Stay well, stay hopeful, stay playful.
In these strange, frightening and troubled times, it’s important for us all to find ways to keep our spirits up and keep connected, safely.
Here at Playful Being we’re now running online workshops – so take a look below at what we’re currently offering, and email us if you have any questions.
Numbers are limited, as we’ve found that 8 is the maximum for everyone to have a good experience. We’re using Zoom, so laptop or tablet is your best option, but no need to worry if you’ve not used it before. It’s pretty simple, and we will send you a link before the session which you just need to click on to join. We’ll also send out full instructions when you book.
We want to keep developing and growing what we can offer, so do please get in touch with ideas, feedback and encouragement. We’d love to hear from you!

"The combination of furlough, lockdown and living alone would have been unendurable without Playful Being and Improv. Joining groups up to three times a week has brought fun, laughter and companionship, and closeness with people I hardly knew.
Playful Being is a real recipe for cheerfulness and exploring the inner child within every adult that is dying to emerge. It is never scary or demanding or competitive. Better than an apple a day, Joe Wicks, or Netflix. And hilarious."

"I love, love , love what you are creating with improv. What I notice is how it allows me to explore my own emotional palette and how I can ‘put on’ and ‘take off’ my emotions. I can make use of that in my playful world of improv, and also in my own emotional, feeling life."

"Playfulness opens you. It lightens your heart. It's a way of being - of being yourself, completely, and, if you feel like it, being more even than that." Bernie de Koven
