WHAT IS
TRANSFORMATIONAL PLAY?
In Transformational Play, people become completely present and engaged, not living in the past but open to a new future. Science is proving that play stimulates the brain and fires impulses in the frontal lobe, helping creativity, flexibility, relational skills, memory, our physical health and boosts our immune system.
Stanford University’s Design school’s new course ‘From Play to Innovation’ is proving how team-centered projects are increasing innovation with playfulness. By incorporating play techniques, teams can have more productive meetings and increase competitive edge.
Play is also powerful for individuals. By rewiring the brain with play, we can correct imbalances and develop many capacities - transforming the person in a light and fun way.
