Playfight circle

Come and try Playfight! Connect with your inner playfulness, even if you’re angry or tired or sad. Without words, express your raw authentic self through wrestling with another human being. Discover your real competitor; not the person on the mat in front of you, but the one within you. Can you com-pete (meaning: together-go towards) with all parts of yourself?

Playfight is an embodied practice that combines play and non-violent fighting with a focus on connection and personal development. Through contact, we tap into our primal side, the strength in our bodies and the wisdom of our emotions.

Note: doors close at 10:00. Please come early, have some tea and snacks (provide by me), and take the time to arrive, so that we can all start together on time. If you are late anyway (sometimes life happens) you must let me know to be able to join.

What to bring:

• durable clothes in which you can move freely,
• water bottle,
• soft knee pads (optional).

Contribution: €20 – €40

I want Playfight to be both my passion and my means of sustainability. Thus I would like you to give to me only out of the joy of contributing to me doing this. Depending on your means and ability to give, I would appreciate if you give between €20 – €40, where an average of €25 is what I predict I’ll need to make offering Playfight sustainable for me. If giving this amount is not comfortable to you, I still want you to be able to access my offerings. Please speak to me, and I’m sure we can find a way that works for both of us.

About the host (Andreas):

It’s through Playfight that it became clear to me that I really struggled to access my joy. I came to the Playfight circles because I wanted to PLAY, but there was all this anxiety and insecurity and bottled up anger getting in the way. I was invited to bring it into the circle, and I found that when I truly allow myself to really be me, joy starts to flow again. So what started as a way to “have fun” has become a way to personal empowerment, and it’s now part of my mission to create a world where everyone is empowered to be themselves.

Besides Playfight I also support couples in deepening their connection, facilitate spaces where people can practice being honest and vulnerable, and coach individuals in navigating life.
