waking up lightly

What would it mean to really live life as play? To take the lid off your unbounded true nature and unleash its full spontaneity, delight, and zest for life? What resources of energy, creativity, and genius might be available for your? And for our world? Most of us have been raised to think of play as a frivolous distraction from the serious business of living, when actually the future of life may very well depend on it. This weekend romp will inform, inspire, dignify, delight, and above all, unleash the pure magic of play into our lives and world.
