WHY:
I am often asked about the relevance of play. Play is an excellent point of entry. for instance, in the midst of a game guards come down, camaraderie builds and creativity ensues. Somewhere in all the fun the impossible becomes possible, tangible and actionable. Which makes play not only practical but an effective tool. The bonus is, this seemingly silly yet surprisingly stupendous change maker also happens to be fun! Seeing individuals, families, businesses and communities transform into more powerful versions of themselves is like looking through a mesmerizing kaleidoscope!
