<aside> 🌳 If you have an extra minute — Before scrolling down, take a moment to smile — inhale deeply through your nose —— the deepest breath you've taken all day —— and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Feel free to laugh at the end of your exhale — And if you are really courageous, see if you can smile the entire time that you are on this page 😁

At the heart of our theory of change - in addition to simply giving adults permission to play - is supporting people to disrupt their patterns through play. This happens both indirectly and directly. Through intention setting, reflection and being a part of a community of practice people are given the chance to experiment with Doing more of the things they know are good for them, Doing less of the things they know are not good for them, and Doing things differently, to create possibilities beyond their current imaginations.
Sessions include a variety of different types of play including; imaginative play, movement/body based play, object play, word play, independent play, social play, competitive play, storytelling/narrative based play and ritual play.
In Unified Playfulness these are grouped into three more general types: Non-directed Play, Directed Play and Performance. All three of these groups of play can be beneficial in cultivating mindful awareness, which Shinzen Young breaks down as [**concentration power, equanimity, and sensory clarity](https://www.resources.soundstrue.com/transcript/shinzen-young-the-science-of-enlightenment-part-1/#:~:text=Concentration power is the ability,go without push and pull.).**
