    FACILITATOR TRAINING

    October 26-29

  • Therapists around the world use Playfight to help clients who struggle with closeness, trust, or self-expression to develop inner clarity and healthy relationships.

    Playfight offers guided physical encounters where old habits show up instantly and are changed in the moment, in direct interaction with another person.

    Within a guided and structured container, people engage in a safe and respectful form of non-violent grappling that helps them reconnect with their instincts, boundaries, and personal power.

    Playfight shifts the therapy approach from talking and analyzing to engaging and expressing through the body, voice, and presence.

    See it in action in the video below.

  • WHY IT WORKS

    Many emotions live in the body. When we move, resist, push, yield, growl, or hold still, we give space to what words can’t reach.

    Playfight creates a container where:

    • People can express anger without harming.
    • Boundaries can be tested and reinforced.
    • Power can be reclaimed without domination.
    • Vulnerability can be seen, accepted, and supported.

    It’s not a performance. It’s a ritual space guided by clear agreements and compassionate facilitation.

  • EXPERIENTIAL RETREAT

    October 23-26

    A retreat for therapists, coaches, educators, leaders who want to work deeply on themselves through the body. A small group (max 15), allowing for close attention, trust, and depth.

    – deeper trust in your body
