ABOUT SPIRITED IMPROV
Spirited Improv is a unique fusion of expressive arts, spiritual practice, and group play that helps you release fear, trust the unknown, and show up as your truest self.
Spirited Improv is a soul-centered community experience that uses improvisational play as the container for spiritual growth, personal transformation, and authentic connection. Rather than focusing on comedy or performance, we use improv as a living practice, one that invites presence, trust, curiosity, and responsiveness in the moment.
Facilitated by Jessica Chilton, who brings over 20 years of improvisational performing arts experience and 16 years as an expressive arts therapist, weaving creativity, spirituality, and presence into a safe, transformative group experience.
Through embodied improvisational play, movement, voice, storytelling, sound, and silence, we create a living container where authenticity is welcomed and presence is practiced. Over time, this shared experience fosters deep connection, confidence, and a felt sense of belonging.
Spirited Improv is for those seeking a spiritual community grounded in lived experience, where growth happens through relationship, creativity, and the courage to show up fully. As we transform individually through improv, we strengthen the collective and contribute to a more compassionate world.
WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
“Spirited Improv is authentic, vulnerable and connective. It meets my need to deeply feel, be seen and see others. On my first night I experienced such a profound healing experience after sharing what was on my heart. It was like a sound, healing touch, full moon energy bath that opened my heart. ” ~ Kate
“Spirited Improv is a fun and little bit edgy way of interacting with the mystery of the moment. You decide how much you want to interact or observe from the audience so you never have to do anything you don't want to do. It is an opportunity to let go of control and explore the spontaneity of life and creativity in a supportive, safe environment..” ~ Kenyon
“I got to play, move my body, laugh, take joy in watching my friends come alive, give and receive big hugs, and feel the presence of the ancestors who always join me. There’s something so sacred about being present with others while we play, witness and embody what is.” ~ Sue
