Playtime is Now!
This month at THR, we’ve embraced the theme of play as a pathway to possibility. Spring can be a lovely time to tap into our playful side. The earth comes to life in full color, and at times it seems as though we are starring in our own version of The Wizard of Oz. Amongst the vibrant color, even Dorothy was inspired to play as she skipped down the colorful yellow brick road.
And so, during this time of change and growth, the question remains:
What does adult play look like?
To many of us, this concept is a lost art, long forgotten amongst the growing responsibilities of adulthood. Though underutilized as a form of self-care, I argue that adult play is one of the more powerful ways to access joy and creativity.
So, how do we begin to say “yes” to more play?
