When we awaken the joy, freedom and wisdom of our inner child, we automatically give children permission to stay connected to these aspects within themselves.

Remembering to Play inspires individuals to live and work from a place of freedom, joy and self-care. It is a reminder to give our intuitive self a voice, play with our imagination and reclaim the freedom to be expressive and uninhibited. We soon discover that play is not only fun, but productive as well!

Remembering to play is about remembering our self and the gifts we have to share. It opens the door to the wisdom of our child-like heart, and allows us to engage children more fully from this place. As we remember our self, we practice self-care and support our children to nurture their spirit as well, and express it fully in the world.

Benefits of Remembering to Play include:

  • Recognize the importance of balancing academic and play-based learning
  • Follow the child’s lead and support a co-creative learning environment
  • Learn creative activities that promote collaboration / learning for children

Learning takes place though personal exploration, music, creative movement, storytelling, art, open discussions and written material. You will walk away with a deepened sense of self and direction, practical life skills, and handouts to support the application of your learning.
