Knowing How to Play
July 3, 2022 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Today’s Topic:
At some point in our lives, many of us stop playing–taking time out to move, have fun, and be silly for no reasons related to competition, returns on investment, or compensation. We stop dancing, we stop skipping, we infrequently let our hair down just because. We set our creativity aside in the name of more productive, focused, measurable ventures. Why? What happens when we adults choose to create time for play again and not just with our kids, but with other adults in our social groups, neighborhoods, and natural spaces? In this sermon, Annie Wegner LeFort (trained chef, certified yoga teacher, dancer, acroyogini, and Health Coach in-training) shares her journey of rediscovering the importance of play in her life to regain physical health, connect with friends and strangers, expand of her movement skills, and invite mental and emotional healing into her life. She is eager to share the new “alive!” she gained on this path.
