Playful Events and Experiences

Playful Events and Experiences

I'm passionate about my work and the kind of playful events and experiences I create that encourage authentic expression, free-form movement and play from participants. After working with hundreds of people, I know how important it is to trust and like the person you do business with. I also know how challenging it can be for some folks to open up to a stranger and share what's working for them and what's not. I'm an easygoing gal who gets along with most people and the best way for you to find that out is by contacting me.

While I challenge my event participants, groups and audiences to take risks, acknowledge their fears and be completely authentic, I also make sure our work together is fun and playful. When a warm and welcoming space is created and maintained for the duration of an event, people become more comfortable with just being themselves. Being genuine and honest with each other are crucial elements that determine the quality of our work together. If you, your business or organization, or a small group you belong to are looking for support that is professional yet very personal, I may be the ideal facilitator or speaker for you.

The kind of events and experiences I offer aren't for the faint of heart. Yes, they are playful and fun and they engage participants in a variety of ways that are designed to get them in touch with their bodies, minds and spirits. This may initially feel uncomfortable for some people, but trust me...when you're willing to be vulnerable and do something that scares you, you'll be pleasantly surprised not only by your own enthusiasm and courageous behavior, but you're likely to notice a significant change in how you feel about your life in general.

Playful Spirit Productions' events and experiences
help people show up, be real and play big.
As a participant in one of our events, it's likely you would experience one or more of the following consequences:

A heady sense of personal well-being
A state of intense emotion or exaltation
An elevated sensation of bliss or delight
A strength of feeling that results in expression of some kind

If you or your group would like to experience more of those kinds of feelings and results, I encourage you to peruse the list of our events and services to see if we offer something that will meet your needs or wants.

BEACH DANCE
Special Weekend Events this Summer in Cannon Beach, Oregon

Beginning June 21 and continuing through the end of September, a stretch of beach along the North Coast of Oregon will play host to several exciting events. For just three months, a unique and extraordinary experience of dancing in nature will be offered on select Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. Beach Dances are ninety minutes in length and are kept to a maximum of fifteen participants. Check out all the delightful details of how Beach Dance works and then register to attend one of the events.

FREE-FORM DANCE CLASSES
Every Thursday Night in Cannon Beach, Oregon

Come and explore your own dance during this hour-long free-form movement class held at the Chamber of Commerce. We play a variety of different music that encourages self-expression and fun and provides a new dancing experience every week. The class begins at 7:15 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. We recommend you wear casual, comfortable attire and bring a water bottle with you. Classes are $7.00 and the second one you attend is FREE! No previous dance experience is required. Just show up and we promise you'll have a great time. More classes will be offered this fall in Astoria.

KEYNOTES
For small gatherings and larger groups

I speak on a variety of topics that are engaging, insightful and entertaining. My keynotes are delivered in a conversational style and bear no resemblance whatsoever to a Powerpoint presentation. If your business, organization or group wants a speaker who will inspire and fire them up, take a look at what I like to talk about and then let's chat about what your audience wants.

WORKSHOPS AND RETREATS
Attend One of Mine or Have One Created Especially for Your Group

As a facilitator, I bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to help create a learning environment that is interactive, inspiring and fun for everyone. While the theme of a workshop or a retreat may change, creative endeavors, writing exercises, movement arts and engaging conversations are the core activities one can expect from attending this type of group event. Designed to challenge the status quo and enhance personal growth, the workshops and retreats I create and facilitate are rewarding life-affirming experiences.
