About Art of Play

If you can play in life, you can find play anywhere. Play is a state of consciousness that allows us to experience joy, freedom, and creativity. Play is not limited to recreational activities, but rather encompasses a mindset that can be applied to all aspects of life. It is a way of engaging with the world that involves loosening our grip on rigid beliefs and entering fully into the present moment. Play requires skill and the ability to see beyond narrow perspectives, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the game of life. It is through play that we can tap into our true selves and express authentically for the purpose of mutual liberation.

Play is the activity of perfection. If everything in existence is part of the divine, we no longer need to guard against the "un-divine" and can engage with life in a playful manner, appreciating its nuances and delights, instead of striving to fix or change things.

What’s Included in Art of Play

New Concepts

These ideas have a way of flipping everything you thought you knew on its head, confirming what you may have sensed but is hard to define with words.

Videos

Every module includes videos to give you another perspective on the learnings and see someone’s unique perspective on the subject matter.

Integration Exercises

Integration exercises help you bring the lessons into your own life and make them yours. The exercises take things out of the conceptual realm and more directly into your body and your life.

Eros Sutras and Other Readings

Each lesson has a reading from The Eros Sutras or other writings. The readings are the anchor in the course, both elegant and educational.

Tips & Tricks

Question What You Learn

Try things out; test them. Don't take our word for it—research it for yourself to discover the validity. The wrestle itself is how you really get inside the material.

Keep a Journal

The things that stand out for you are a guidance of their own. We encourage you to take notes throughout your entire experience. Write down your questions, your observations, passages that catch your eye, realizations, and arguments. In working with Erotic material, your intuition will come alive and begin speaking to you. Taking notes and capturing what stands out for you is how you create a map for yourself of what your soul wants you to know, and of what you are remembering.

Try the Meditations & Exercises

These are designed to offer you a direct experience of the content, which might otherwise feel abstract. That being said, if a meditation or an exercise doesn't make sense to you, you can skip it until later, or try it and modify it. You can always approach the course at your own pace in your own way, and you do not have to be an expert or have any experience of meditation to get value from it.
