If prayer is “an expression of thanks” then what better way to say thanks to the Divine than to play? As children, play comes naturally. As adults, playing is often an afterthought. In times like these, grown ups need to play more than ever. Join Celia for a day of discovering how fun can be a form of worship and how to express reverence through joy. Expect playful forms of writing, movement, improvisation exercises, and paired and group conversations. Expect laughter!
