What if the challenges you carry aren’t blocks, but invitations?
What if your struggles—the freeze, the shame, the people-pleasing, the patterns that feel unshakable—could actually become doorways into freedom, creativity, and connection?
At How to Play in the Dark, transformation doesn’t just come from talking about what’s hard. It comes from meeting it with curiosity, movement, imagination, and play. Here, you don’t simply think about change—you embody it.
This is not a lecture. Not a performance. Not therapy.
It’s a co-created ritual of play, creativity, and emergence.
Over the course of 2.5 hours, you’ll be guided through practices designed to awaken your body, unlock your voice, and invite your imagination into the process of healing. Each gathering is shaped by the unique energy of the people in the room, which means no two experiences are ever the same. Together, we’ll step into the unknown—discovering freedom, connection, and possibility along the way.
What You’ll Gain
In this 2.5-hour group, you’ll walk away with:
✨ Clarity in your nervous system — learning to sense your true YESs and NOs with more confidence.
✨ Creative new ways to meet your challenges that move you out of old patterns and into fresh possibility.
✨ The intimacy of being truly seen within a supportive, playful community.
✨ An expanded sense of what “play” can be — discovering forms of play you didn’t even realize counted.
✨ Synchronicity, intuition, and magic — moments that remind you healing can feel alive and surprising.
✨ Embodied tools for daily life — practices you can return to when stress or conflict arises.
✨ A felt experience of transformation through ritual, imagination, and co-creation.
✨ Freedom — the release of what no longer serves you, and the courage to try on new ways of being.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just about “working on yourself.” It’s about reimagining what it means to live fully, authentically, and vibrantly. It’s about reclaiming every part of you—even the ones hidden in the shadows—and discovering that those parts might hold your greatest gifts.
And yes, it’s deep.
And yes, it’s sacred.
And yes, it’s FUN.
