Why play matters — even (especially) for adults.
As children, play was how we learned to trust the world. As adults, it’s how we remember to trust ourselves. Research shows that play isn’t frivolous — it’s fundamental to wellbeing.
🧠 Neuroscientists like Dr. Stuart Brown found that play shapes brain pathways tied to creativity, empathy, and emotional regulation.
💞 Positive psychology studies link playful activities to lower stress hormones, improved mood, and stronger social bonds.
🌿 Somatic research shows that spontaneous movement and laughter can gently re-regulate the nervous system — the same system often strained by chronic stress or trauma.
So, when we allow ourselves to move, paint, or laugh without judgment… we’re not being childish. We’re being whole.
