PRIMAL PLAY LONDON CELEBRATES IT'S 10TH EDITION
WITH LIVE SOUNDSCAPES FROM OLLS AMOR!

๐Ÿฆ โœจ After 9 amazing editions, Primal Play London celebrates its 10th with a special extended event in which we'll come together to move with what moves us in openhearted connection โœจ๐Ÿฆ
 

****************************

What if all it took to be met in meaningful, authentic connection was 7 minutes?

Imagine this: you're sitting across from another on a mat.

Eyes Closed. Dropping into presence.

Breath steady. Heart beating.

A tingle of nervous excitement.

Eyes opening. You meet their gaze.

A curiosity, a spark.

You take a deep breath,

drop the story in your mind

- the old pattern you've followed 100 times -

and make the smallest, slowest movement of your body

in synchronicity with theirs

to follow each breadcrumb of aliveness

towards what wants to happen โœจ
 

****************************

This is not your typical movement event.

It is not a dance.

Nor a play fight.

Primal Play is an embodied, relational movement practice that transcends words and delves into the depths of human interaction - sometimes wild, sometimes tender, completely open and also closed, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet - and every time completely new and different.

A space to witness, to research, to learn from each other and grow together - safe in the knowledge that so much can happen, but nothing has to.
 

****************************

Primal Play encourages a slow, deliberate pace, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the experience one step at a time. It's about embracing vulnerability, authenticity, and the beauty of human connection in its purest form. Itโ€™s a non-sexual (but potentially sensual), trauma-informed space held by highly trained, certified group field facilitators.

We will start with guided warm-up practices, then move into the play, and end with grounded nervous system regulation and integration.

Primal Play is intended for everyone.

Regardless of sexual orientation or identity, skin colour or age.

Solo, in partnership or other constellations.

You are warmly welcome.

Each encounter will have its own unique qualities.

๐ŸŒป Lee Lester (She/Her):

Lee burns to create spaces for collective healing and transformation through the connecting of nervous systems and the opening of hearts.

As an embodiment facilitator and somatic resourcing coach, he leads the Empathy and Awareness team at Pura Vida and is one of the launch coaches on Book Holistic.

His solo work (@embodied.empathy) is dedicated to reawakening people to their innate power as empathy activists, and he runs regular workshops in Berlin and London.

Shylo is a multi-instrumentalist devoted to creating spaces of sacredness and connection. With a deep love for ancient traditions and world music, he invites audiences on a journey to their innermost selves. Whether hosting a ceremony, DJing a conscious dance, or improvising in nature, Shylo weaves soundscapes that transcend the ordinary, guiding listeners toward truth, love, and playfulness. Expect an enchanting fusion of ethereal folk, psychedelia, and soulful ambient beatsโ€”a transformative experience not to be missed.

๐ŸŒป Sophie Yates She/They:

Sophie is passionate about supporting people to connect with themselves and each other. Having grown up in a culture where mind takes precedence over body, she struggled with feelings of emptiness and disconnection.
