Playshops for Groups — Now Available Virtually
PlayReflections™: Playshops for the Kid in Everyone, is a fun and engaging blend of imagination, games, creative movement and relaxation. Each “playshop” is designed with the needs of a particular group in mind, while the goal remains the same: To nurture a room-full of people sharing a sense of playfulness, safety, well-being, vitality, confidence, delight, and laughter.
Playful Stress Relief
In this playshop, participants will learn to develop a lighter attitude while exploring the joy of the child within. We will enrich our creative process and develop a new level of self-esteem through group interaction, games, spontaneity, imagination, silliness and movement. Playfulness cultivates an attitude which joyfully bridges and enhances our work and personal lives. Great for teachers, parents, helping professionals, corporate groups, professional associations and conferences, seniors, pretty much anyone who used to be a kid.
Fun Is a Good Thing: Lighten the Load
Play is essential to a healthy life and creates a feeling of truly belonging. Rather than society's usual forms of play - competition, contests and lose/win scenarios, there is a better way. In this playshop, we'll enthusiastically create community together through expressive, inviting, joyful experiences. We'll unwind, relax and rediscover our playful nature. For adult birthdays, parties, team building retreats, human service providers, corporate groups, intergenerational groups.
What To Do With The Young and The Restless
This playshop focuses on techniques for reaching the child within most effectively enhancing our ability to intuitively work with young children. By using creative movement, games, music, relaxation strategies, imagination and more, we will emphasize cooperation, self-esteem, communication and creativity. Parents/teachers/providers can tap the natural skills and interests of children to expand the quality of care they receive through a child-centered approach. For parents, early educators, school-age providers, helping professionals, professional associations and conferences.

“After attending a PlayReflections playshop, I was gently reminded of my humanity, my uniqueness, and the creative spirit that brought me to the field of teaching. I hope we can all carry this seed of imagination and plant it in the hearts, minds, and spirits of our students each and every day!.”
— Eileen Bernstein, New York City public school teacher and music specialist
“Thanks for playing with us. Even the skeptic agreed it was fun and valuable. The workaholic felt we had gotten a lot of work done so they could justify having fun. I thought it was the perfect ending to a perfect day.”
