💬 Nice to come across this very optimistic and well-researched essay on the importance playfulness today:
The most successful communities will embrace play-based gatherings in unexpected ways. In a society so desperately craving permission to connect, play is the forgotten art with the potential to lead to transformative experiences.
But, as someone who has been on the PLAY schtick for a long time, it’s vital that it does not get pigeon-holed into a mere trend or movement. Play is as universal a virtue as patience, justice, or even (as I argued in last week’s blog) love.
Play is the way!
