Welcome wonderful human, we’re so glad you’re here!

In this workshop we invite you to come leave your head for a day and connect with your body, your emotions, your strength, and your playfulness through the powerful tool of Playfighting.

Playfighting is body awareness meets competitive play meets mindfulness. And it’s full of fun! A true gem for all the inner children out there in adult bodies.

It is a form of movement built to strengthen your connection to your own center, to your boundaries and ultimately to your heart’s capabilities to hold yourself in safety – physically, mentally and emotionally – so that you can show up a tad more as your authentic self to others and especially to yourself.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THE WORKSHOP?
Part I of the workshop will be us, Alby & Frederik, leading you through games and single and partner exercises to 1) land in the body instead of our heads, warm up, and spark playfulness and the community feeling in the group, and 2) to let you be introduced to the three core elements of Playfight – Connection, Competitive Play & Safety – in an embodied manner.

In Part II we open the space for the possibility to Playfight with other participants. We, Frederik and Alberte, will open the Circle by demonstrating a one-to-one Playfight for you to be inspired by.

In Part III we dedicate time for you to integrate what has come alive in you/what has come to your awareness during the workshop and hold space for discoveries and sharings that long to see the light of day.

Anyone is welcome and no previous experience is needed.
