The JOY Lab

Delve into a day devoted to playfulness, wonder, joy, and curiosity! This is your invitation to tap into the part of you that longs to jump in puddles, be curious without an agenda and ask questions without needing an answer. Through a series of guided experiences, spontaneous games, and imaginative prompts, we’ll explore what it means to be deeply present, boldly curious, and unapologetically playful.

Expect moments of laughter, quiet awe, unexpected mischief, and creative flow — all designed to reignite your joy!

What to Expect

• Interactive games, improvisation, embodied movement
• Creative prompts, mindful moments, childlike awe and wonder
• Activities both inside and outside (weather permitting)
• An opportunity to explore costume
• Moments of reflection

Who's it for?

Maybe you're looking for a spark of creative inspiration? Maybe you feel like you've lost your mojo? Perhaps the state of the world is weighing you down, or you're simply feeling stuck? This workshop is designed specifically for grown ups who want to invite more playfulness into their lives. All you need is an open heart and willingness to explore the playful edges of yourself.

Testimonial from Previous Playful Participant

'As we moved through the morning together I felt parts of me remembering, other parts shedding the hard exterior of disconnection. Underneath a sadness at the fact that I had been for so long, scared to fully embrace the playful side of me, acknowledging societal conditioning with each other and giving ourselves permission to explore. Katie guided us through activities to connect, to explore, to awaken our imagination and creativity. It was joyous. Absolutely the best medicine. If you get a chance to go to one of Katies workshop , you will be in really safe hands, say yes, honour yourself, your inner child and the simple fun of play.'

Your Facilitator

Katie Rose White from The Best Medicine

That’s me! For nearly 10 years now I have been facilitating group workshops that focus on laughter and playfulness. I have trained with laughter yogis, clowns, fools, improv professionals and meditation teachers. I have studied, listened to, watched and read about play, and taken great interest in how it can benefit myself and others. I have had the privilege of sharing these practices and ideas with hundreds of people all over the country, spoken on podcasts, delivered online training and in person events.

For some this work can feel edgey, uncomfortable or challenging; I pride myself in being able to hold and play with whats alive in the room. To pivot, change and improvise in the moment and ensure that the space always feels safe and grounded.
