Greetings! And we are very glad you’re here considering bringing in Deep Play Facilitators to host a DPI Workshop for your community. This is the place to be if you are inspired by our practices, approaches, pedagogies and methodologies and you want to bring in some deep play experts to offer a workshop with your local community, school, work, friend-group, etc.
Before you go any further with this document we highly recommend checking out our About page and reading a bit about our mission statement and also our Values and Anti-Oppression Statement. And please do look through our Upcoming & Past Events as well to get a sense of the kind of events we are interested in hosting.
What kinds of workshops are we looking to sponsor?
Workshops committed to deep play: play that aims to be transformative, that stirs us to reflect on life’s big questions, that is radically immersive and interactive, that moves our minds, hearts, and spirits.
Workshops committed to playing with deep play. We like to think of each of our workshops as a unique work of art: creative, spirited, and experimental. We love and respect the deep play work of various established therapeutic models but at DPI we use each workshop as a chance to iterate and experiment. We play with deep play - meaning we leave behind the codified center of a given practice. This is a call to innovate, tinker, remix. It is a call to experiment with the way in which transformative techniques are structured, performed and facilitated.
After seeing more what kind of offerings we have offered, the next step would be to reach out to us and let us know what your interests, dreams, hopes, and desires are for a DPI Workshop in your community. And then we can setup a call to discuss. We have collaborators in Portland, Philadelphia, New York, New Orleans, Nashville, Ontario, UK, Brazil and Vietnam. Depending on your budgetary constraints it may be possible to bring in Deep Play Facilitators from elsewhere in the world to your community. Workshops can also be run online.
