THE RE:TURN: Poetry & Pace ft. India Bailey and more

A 5k run club around Primrose Hill, complete with poetry to end. Day 1 of the PLAY x Soul Festival.

Step into your 5k reimagined. A rhythmic, collective journey through Primrose Hill, a communal ritual closing with a live poetry performance.

We begin with a guided warm-up led by the PLAY team, easing into pace and presence. Expect gentle activation, breath work, and an invitation to tune into the rhythm of your body before we set off.

The run unfolds as a 5k loop through the Primrose Hill area, designed for all levels, with the focus on connection rather than speed. Think steady cadence, shared energy, light conversation, and a reminder that moving together is its own form of art.

To close, we gather for a live poetry performance, whose words offer a final moment of resonance. An emotional cool-down that mirrors the terrain we’ve just travelled. Expect spaciousness. Reflection. A soft return to yourself.

A collaboration between movement, language, and collective presence.

Welcome to THE RE:TURN, a 2-day festival brought to you by PLAY x Soul Studio.

Come run. Come listen. Come land. Come PLAY.
