"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." George Bernard Shaw

Let's Play!

So we can feel young and energetic: Playing can boost your energy and vitality and even improve your resistance to disease. Play can trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals.

To stimulate our minds: Young children often learn best when they are playing–and that principle applies to adults as well.

To improve our relationships and our connection to others: Sharing laughter and fun can foster empathy, compassion, trust, and intimacy with others.

Experience summer "re-creation" in this 2-session workshop designed and facilitated by longtime HIP instructor, Deanna Anderson. The goal is to offer the replenishing gift of play, and provide you with skills to further develop your playful nature and outlook on life. Sessions will include laughter, games, song, music, writing, dance/movement, improvisation and more.

Instructor: Deanna Anderson. Deanna is a dancer, dance instructor, Certified Action Theater Coach and Director, and Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator (RSMT/E), with over 25 years experience serving people through Expressive and Performance Arts.
