01 / STORY OF AURÉLIA JOLY, FOUNDER OF PLAYGROUNDED

276F5081-F873-44C5-A2E6-C1C78FA98B34 2_edited_edited_edited.jpg

I spent years working as a creative in advertising, where my job was essentially to have ideas on demand.

​

Every project began with constraints: a problem,

an audience, a budget, a deadline, a format. At first glance, constraints seem to reduce possibility.

In practice, they often create it.

​

After leaving advertising, I spent years exploring movement, meditation, theatre and embodied practices while developing my own artistic practice through scenography, illustration and performance.

​

Eventually I realised what has always fascinated me is the creative process. So I decided to study somatic practices under the scope of creativity, to the core.
 

How do we create from a place of deep authenticity?

What helps us move beyond our habitual responses?

Why do some environments make us rigid, while others make us playful and imaginative?

​

PlayGrounded is my evolving practice for exploring those conditions and turning the research into experiences for individuals and groups.

02 / MY TRAINING

I am currently deepening the practice through the

Animano Body-Mind Flow Practitioner training at Life Artists and

MIT's u-lab: Leading From the Emerging Future,

 

alongside ongoing work in movement, facilitation and the arts.

​

Other non formal - but nonetheless life changing - trainings in mindfulness & somatics trainings include : Vipassana, Amenti Movement Method, ISTA, De-armouring
