Permission to Play

What if we dedicated a Saturday to connection?

We touch screens hundreds of times a day. We communicate through messages. We follow the lives of people we haven’t hugged in months.

Human beings need closeness, eye contact, touch, play, laughter, and the feeling of being part of something. So we thought: what if we dedicated an entire Saturday to exactly that?

To connection.

With ourselves, our bodies, and other people.

Permission to Play, the first in The Seven Permissions series, will be part workshop, part gathering, part play — and above all, an experience that emerges between the people who come together.

We’ll explore what happens when we hold someone’s gaze a little longer, when we clearly express what we want, when we allow ourselves to receive closeness, when we notice our own boundaries, and when we simply follow our curiosity.

We’ll discover just how many different ways there are to be close to other people.

There will be conversation, movement, music, touch, play, small challenges, and different experiments in connection.

And there will be a lot of laughter.

We want to create an evening where a deep moment and complete silliness can exist side by side. Where we can surprise ourselves, play, meet someone in a completely different way, and perhaps discover something new about ourselves along the way.
