What play is (...and what it's not)
Play is not...
-
...an action, activity or hobby.
-
...only for children.
-
only outgoing, clownish, or frivolous.
Play is...
-
...an experience you feel. Play is when you engage in something with enjoyment.
-
...a blended nervous system state that combines the safety of ventral with the activation of fight/flight.
-
... one of the fastest ways we rewire the brain to form new patterns (and definitely the most pleasurable way!)
Play is where your curiosity lives, where you express yourself, where you sense the wonder of the world.
Reclaiming your play is a
Revolutionary Act
Our world does not give a shit if you feel joy. It does not care at all.
Our world, our society, and the invisible systems that rule all of them care about three things:
1. How much you produce.
2. How much you consume.
3. That you reproduce to create the next generation of producers and consumers.
In a system that doesn’t give a shit, it’s revolutionary to center your joy.
It’s revolutionary to claim your experience of joy matters.
Play is the experience of cultivating joy in the everyday.
It shouldn’t be a revolutionary act to reclaim your joy, yet here we are.
Join the Playful Revolution so you can start relearning how you love to play, start feeling authentic, vibrant joy daily, and build a more joyful world.
Want to know who does
care about your joy?
The people who love you. Your community. People want you to feel joy, and they want to feel your joy as a way to deepen relationships, community, and love.
One of the best parts of reclaiming your play is how you can deepen and strengthen the relationships in your life.
Your loved ones (kids, friends, family) get to know the real you. The one that sparkles with a vibrant joy every day.
Start Feeling Joy with Mindful Play
At The Playful Revolution, we teach you how to use play as a mindfulness practice.
We’re taught that play is an action taken by children, but that’s completely wrong. According to neuroscience, play is an engaged mental state. It’s an embodied experience where enjoyment and engagement meet.
It’s personal. It’s found and expressed differently in everyone.
-
It’s the feeling of losing track of time......like when you're doing a puzzle for hours & don't realize it's dark out.
-
An excitement or giddiness you cannot contain...like when you score the winning shot at the pick-up basketball game.
-
Of losing a sense of self in an experience... like when you're singing at the top of your lungs at your favorite artist's concert.
-
A sparkle in your eye and a zest for life...that your loved ones feel and reverberates throughout your life.

"Quite frankly, she changed my life with play."
"I had everything I wanted, a loving family, a successful career, and wonderful friends; but something was still missing. I tried it all…therapy, medication, self-help books, the works. They were successful in most aspects, but somehow I still lacked joy. Then TJ shared with me her Playful Revolution. Quite frankly, she changed my life with play. Through her work I have reconnected with my nervous system, and I am fully able to recognize the moments of play in my ordinary days. Her brilliance, kindness, and openness made my vulnerability easy, while her “homework” had me looking for more. I am forever grateful for TJ and this beautifully curated program re-learning joyful play."
