Ever wanted to invoke body-wisdom to inculcate connection, compassion and courage in people? Ever wanted to create a playful experience that people will reflect upon and remember fondly? Ever wanted to have fun when you are teaching or conducting a workshop? Then this book (manual) will surely help. Based on the author's 12 year experience in various forms of theatre such as Theatre of the Oppressed, Playback Theatre and Improv Theatre, the activities are designed to make your sessions come alive, whether in-person or virtual. Be it middle-school children or college adults, corporate employees or senior bureaucrats, the activities here transcend the barriers of talk. As compared to other resources, this book also helps you understand why each activity is helpful, gives you variations to choose from and even how to practice self-care. The activities are structured with warm-ups and closure options too so that you can jump start your planning. Finally, the online-friendly nature of many activities ensures that even if you cannot physically meet your participants, you can still keep developing the core values of connection, compassion and courage.
