Born To Be Wild
We begin our existence with an unlimited capacity for playfulness. Then life gets in the way, with its busyness and soul sadness, and before you know it, your sense of levity goes underground. But finding it again is just a matter of realizing that everyone is fundamentally fun! In this interactive presentation, you'll take a journey through your own life, and learn how to
- Resurrect the fun person you were created to be
- Increase productivity by injecting play into work
- Use moments of fun to experience joy even in times
of grief and loss
Finding (and Riding) Your Inner Harley
When was the last time you did something for the first time? Is there something you've dreamed of doing, but haven't done yet because you haven't made the effort or summoned the courage? What's keeping you from living life as an adventure rather than a series of responsibilities and problems? As a result of this presentation, you will be inspired to wake up your wild heart, and
- Restore adventurous dreams that you've postponed
- Find the courage to take playful risks
- Follow God when He double-dog dares you to venture into
the fun unknown
Maximize Your Moments
So often we spend our time either trying to manufacture fun (by planning vacations, parties, and weddings, for example); or we simply wait for fun to show up at a special event, like a movie or a concert. You may not realize, however, that every day—even a "bad" day—offers moments of fun and joy that are yours to capture and celebrate. In this message, Jill will empower you to
- Increase your ability to recognize opportunities for playfulness
- Seize and celebrate those sweet, fleeting moments
- Enjoy living in the present, no matter what challenges you're facing
Unleash the Power of Play
Group fun has a reputation for being some of the highest quality "good times" you can have—in theory. In reality, though, people are often hesitant to initiate communal entertainment. Here we'll dash your concerns by exploring ways that you can energize the atmosphere when good friends (or even not-so-good friends) (or even total strangers) get together. We'll also create a bank of ideas that show how shared play can:
- Break down barriers
- Decrease stress
- Create community
- Cheer up someone in crisis
