2 Day Experiential Play Intensive with Tamara Strijack and Tracy Azevedo
Developmental science has long been championing the healing power of the play mode, whether one is a child, an adolescent or an adult. However, in the field of therapy (and in all areas of life, professional and personal) play is often overlooked and undervalued. In this course, we will explore the purposeful dynamics of emotion and the inherent properties of play - and most importantly, the magical interplay of when they come together. Registration for this event will be open soon.
