PlayThink is a conscientious community of collaborative, innovative modern athletes and artists from many disciplines with the common goal to educate everyone everywhere on the benefits of re-connecting the mind, body, and spirit via creative new forms of playful exercise. The PlayThink Movement is an inclusive, participatory culture of vitality, fun, and well-being, rooted in the belief that each of us has the power to re-shape our own experience mentally and physically and live life to the fullest.
The PlayThink Movement & Flow Arts Festival is a family friendly gathering dedicated to cultivating a creative, healthy community. We look forward to sharing our natural playful spirit through a variety of flow arts including object manipulation (hula hooping, poi, staff spinning, fan dance, juggling), yoga, martial arts, dance, aerial play, mindfulness, healing arts, fire performance, art classes and more. Experience the magic of dance parties, circus camp, and learning to heal through play. Be prepared for inspiring workshops from amazing regional instructors bringing unique talents and inspiration. There will be artists, vendors, and fun to be had of all kinds!
