🌈 Inciting Joyful Play: Inner-Child Mini-Retreat Playdate
Sunday, November 9 | 1 – 5 PM
McFarland United Church of Christ
5710 Anthony St., McFarland, WI
✨ You don’t have to feel joyful to join us.
Sometimes our adult selves are tired, heavy, or unsure where joy has gone—and that’s okay.
This space is for the part of you—the inner child—who still remembers how to play, laugh, and find wonder in simple things.
Through gentle movement, creativity, and connection, we’ll give our inner children room to meet, play, and remind us that joy never really leaves; it just waits for an invitation.
Come exactly as you are, with whatever you’re feeling.
You and your inner child are both welcome here. 💗
🌸 What to Expect
Potluck
Playful dance and flow toys
Sing along with rhythm instruments
Creative expression that invites curiosity and wonder (including Play Dough, slime, sticky sand, coloring options)
Games
Guided reflection to nurture your inner child
Heart-sharing circle and cozy connection
🌿 What to Bring
Food to share for the potluck that your inner child would love!
Comfortable clothes for light movement
Water bottle
Journal (optional)
An open, curious heart
Stuffed animal

💗 Energy Exchange
Sliding scale: $7-47
Money should NOT be what keeps you from coming. Bring love and food to share if you don't have $. And if you have none of the above and just need the loving community this time, bring yourself and receive. Coupon codes are in the registration description.
