EXISTENTIAL PLAYGROUNDS
A free, virtual event series dedicated to playfully experimenting with transformative play​

MAY 12, JUNE 2, JUNE 23
9am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT

Our existence is fluid. What it is to be, is to be in relation to others, and the embedded rules that define our togetherness. In Existential Playgrounds we play with those rules, by breaking them, questioning them, and re-making them. Each playground creates an immersive container around a particular theme, technique or practice. Existential Playgrounds are free! This is an opportunity to come together and play without financial exchanges — a time to gather, connect, play deeply, and converse. This is also a great opportunity for people to explore what The Deep Play Institute is about, to get to know us, and feel into what we do, and how we do it. Think of it like recess!

In spring of 2026 Existential Playgrounds will dip into a simmering pool of archetypal depth psychology following the thoughts of the radical Jungian thinker James Hillman. We will begin to imagine our psyche's complexes (or inner parts) as entities worshipping a constellation of archetypes, gods, or modes of being. We will play with psychodramatic and imaginal techniques that help us re-orient to a worldview and way of "playing with our parts" that is perhaps more intrinsic to the fertile, wild, and awe-inspiring animate realm of images and voices that we call "our own".
