Playgrounded is a curated toolbox of grounding and playful practices to foster a sustainable and creative mindset and embody the change we want to see in the world.
Play
(noun. verb)
A way of being. A way to engage with oneself, others and the unknown spontaneously, freely, with pleasure, within a given framework in the present moment. A liminal space for self expression, artistic creation and connexion.
Grounded
(adjective)
Feeling rooted and anchored in the ground with a sensible and realistic attitude to life, mentally and emotionally stable: admirably sensible, calm and humble, understanding the importance of ordinary things in life.
Planet Earth and its living beings are facing a global collapse.
We're offering a playful yet grounded response to a serious issue.
Uniting the multifaceted traits of humaness for collective creations,
empowering each of us to be the catalysts of change,
connecting with something larger than ourselves.
roots
The living beings & society face a global collapse. Capitalist structures and neo-colonialism hinder individual freedoms and perpetuate white supremacy. Patriarchy perpetuates gender-based discrimination and injustice. Intersectional inequalities are at the root of the probem. Disconnection from each other and the Living are at the root of the problem. A sense of belonging lost. Lost between craving and aversion. Trying to fill the void with consumption to feel whole again; Blaming ourselves and others to avoid feeling deeper and protecting the ego.
response
Resistance movements rooted in a feminine approach are emerging. We're one of them. Encompassing deep-ecology, ecofeminism, self-development, spirituality and body positivity, we strive for a holistic approach to individual healing and earth regeneration. We believe that one needs to embrace all the facets of humaness to feel alive and empowered. Inspired by the eastern teachings of Yoga & Tao, we believe in alignment of mind, body and spirit. Inspired by somatic work, the festival scene & body-positive space; Embracing feelings, emotions, moving freely, connecting to others through curiosity, love and compassion.
Inspired by nature.
approach
We want to cultivate non-attachement & non-judgement to rekindle a playful approach to the Self and others. We want to practice awareness to strengthen the position of observer and act in a grounded manner. Anchored in the ground to cultivate openness. Playfulness as a way of elevating consciousness through the connexion to oneself, others, the unseen and the Earth. We're offering a fertile ground for creative seeds to bloom into unique flowers, mycelium weaving us into a sustainable network of souls united for change.
blooming
Playgrounded emerges as a creative residency in which participants explore their relationship to Self, the unseen and the Earth. Using tools of mindfulness, embodiment, collective intelligence, music, art, talks, games and improv, the participants are invited to express themselves creatively and playfully on the topic "the interconnectedness of all-beings and earth regeneration".

Primal sexual energy being the strongest life force there is, healing our relationship with our bodies & spirit within ourselves and with each other is a tool to feel the interconnectedness of all-beings, reclaim our creativity and regenerate the ecosystems
of our planet.

Aurélia Joly
Founder
Playgrounded was conceived as a tangible response to my deepest concerns and aspirations in this life. After experimenting professionally for many years in the fields of festival creation, stage design and art direction; And exploring the world as a wandering soul through spirituality, circles, bubbles, body positive spaces, festivals, embodiment workshops, healing practices, eco villages, communities, lands...
I found a common thread through this. Playgrounded was born.
I'm offering the fertile soil and inviting other seeds to bloom.
Feel free to reach out for potential collaborations.
