Momentum for the new year! With the new year comes a renewed focus to choose joy. As we all do our best to navigate through these increasingly troubling times, more than ever I am called to my life‘s path of bringing more playfulness into the world. Motivated by my recent 70th birthday, with deep thanks to an incredible support team who helped me put together these brand spankin’ new materials, I am delighted to share them.

Dear friends,
As we turn the corner on this beyond challenging year, I am inviting us all to bring more playfulness into our lives. I am thrilled to release my expanded Playshop Video Series for Kids and Families, including four brand new videos. Feel free to pass along to any families with young children - a participatory and educational way to keep bringing in the light. https://www.youtube.com/playlist...
Also, if you would please subscribe to my video series, it will qualify me for a YouTube status upgrade.
Happily merrily forward,
Jeanne

Housatonic's Peter Pan: Jeanne Bassis and the power of play - The Berkshire Edge Bassis strives to bring a sense of playfulness and “lighthearted curiosity” to the table while encouraging others, regardless of age, “to be more playful from the inside out.”

Do-over, take 2: Playshop Video Series for Kids & Families. Since I initially was asked to create a Playshop Video Series for Kids and Families back in early April, things on every level are accelerating beyond our imaginings. As people rise up together everywhere for a just and peaceful world, I am so heartened. More than ever, families need to create the time to play together. The skills necessary to prepare us to take on the challenges of this world are accessed through play. Intergenerational play - fun for the whole family!!

You know I’ve got a tendency for hyperbole, but I swear, thanks to some very fine editing, these videos are 300 times better now!!! The next batch of videos I’ll be in my summer clothes!

Please share widely with your circles: family and friends, any non-profits, schools, or networks that are offering resources to families anywhere on the planet.

Playing for a safe, healing world, Jeanne

Dear friends and cohorts,
I hope you are staying safe and healthy… A week and a half ago, the idea for this Playshop Video Series for Kids & Families came out of being asked to fill an immediate need for Berkshire county families sheltering at home during these challenging and uncertain times. Recording ‘live’ on my iPhone, I’m having a blast pretending I’m in a circle of eager intergenerational faces. I’m playing with being perfectly imperfect, a humongous tech learning curve and the sheer delight I feel sharing my playful perspective in a whole new way. Lots more to come...
Please share with the families you know. Playing for a peaceful and healthy world...
