PLAYFIGHT ETHICS

Playfight is a guided practice of embodied confrontation. Through physical play, presence, and clear agreements, we explore what it means to show up with strength and care. The experience can be intense, moving, and transformative. And that’s why it’s essential to have a clear understanding of our, your and the shared responsibility we have.

We offer a space for embodied exploration, empowerment, and transformation. This process can bring up strong emotions. It may touch personal or painful topics. It's important that each participant feels if it's the right time to dive in the practice based on their current capacity and resources.

If you have doubts about it please reach out and we are happy to support you in your choice.

While our work can have therapeutic effects, it is not a therapeutic process.
It is not meant to heal trauma, treat mental illness, or replace professional support

We work in a group setting, with a circular approach. This means we cannot offer individual after-care or ongoing emotional support beyond the space of the practice itself. We may hold space for personal topics, but this is only when it serves the group process and does not disrupt its flow.

We trust you to assess whether you need additional personal support, and we welcome you to approach us if something arises.

If you are currently navigating trauma, emotional instability, or in need of one-on-one support, we ask that you consult a trusted professional before joining.

By choosing to participate, we ask you to commit to doing your best to take full responsibility for your emotional and physical well-being. We know this isn’t always easy nevertherless we ask you to do your best.

Taking self-responsibility means concretely:

– Saying yes or no based on your own truth

– Taking breaks when needed

– Asking for help if something feels too much

– Letting the team know if you feel unsafe or overwhelmed

– Owning your reactions, rather than blaming others

– Acknowledging the impact of your own choices

– Taking charge of your integration during and after the event

The facilitators will do their best to back you up within the group frame. Still, this support does not replace your responsibility. This space invites you to meet yourself with honesty and care.

If you’re unsure whether this space is right for you, write to us.

We’re happy to help you reflect before making your decision.

We encourage you to take time to integrate, both during the event and afterwards. Integration means to dedicate time to reflect, rest, and connect with what has emerged. If you need support, the group communication channels (like Telegram) remain open after the event. You’re also welcome to reach out individually.
