Listen "Ep 82 The Importance of Play"
Episode Synopsis
Many times, when we think of contemplative practices, what comes to mind is stillness and silence. But it turns out that there are so many ways to engage with the contemplative – art, movement, and even play! Both rest and play are important to our lives. And for each of us, there are often specific-to-us ways we like to do that. In this week’s episode, we ask: What all can count as play? How do others fit into our experience? And what can we do if we realize that something just isn’t working for us anymore? Join us as we talk about the experience of feeling rested as a result of our play.
