The Art of Getting Over Yourself: How to Build Belonging Through Play

Join Beahive's community activator Eli Walker for an engaging 90-minute workshop that redefines what it means to belong in today’s modern, remote, and individualistic world.

Discover how deliberate live experience design can transform the way we connect, fostering a sense of belonging that goes beyond chance encounters. Drawing on her experience founding Drunk Yoga® and developing the P.L.A.Y. method, Eli will guide you through playful, practical strategies to optimize everyday interactions for belonging and engagement — whether with team and community members, in personal relationships, and even to foster deeper belonging for yourself.

Get ready to break down the 4th wall of human connection, rethink how you build relationships, and leave with tools to design meaningful experiences that spark engagement, trust, and joy.

By embracing the magic of play, you’ll learn how to create an environment where belonging is not just a possibility but a deliberate, repeatable outcome.
