Improv In The Park
Tuesday, June 22nd 5:30pm-6:30pm
It’s summer, let’s play in the park! This drop-in outdoor improv session will be just improv (no therapy group). Come join for some fun, facilitated improv games. Think of this as playtime for adults!
Some of us are excited to connect again in-person. Some of us are fearing connection in-person again. Whether you are yearning to re-connect, feeling socially anxious, or just wanting to play, these drop-in sessions are for you.
Cost: Sliding scale $15-$45
Location: San Pablo Park in Berkeley (between the tennis courts and basketball courts). The closest intersection is Park St. and Oregon St.
Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in.
Reserve your spot by Venmo-ing: @Eliz-Ehren (look for the purple and white Living Improv logo)
Can’t make this one? Check back on the Living Improv website and Facebook page for future sessions!
A Note About COVID/Masks: The CA Dept of Public Health has deemed outdoor spaces safe for vaccinated folks. Nevertheless, it will be hard to maintain distance while playing improv games. For the safety of the group, if you are not yet fully vaccinated, please wear a mask at this event. If you are fully vaxxed, feel free to play maskless (or where a mask if you prefer).

Playful Process

Would you like to...
Feel more connected to yourself and others?
Gain insight into how others experience you?
Practice new ways of being in authentic relationship?
Give and receive support?
Each session of this ongoing process group begins with a brief guided playful somatic exercise.

This group meets over Zoom and will move to in-person when it is safe.
Space is very limited. Please contact us if you are interested in this group, or sign up here for a free 20 minute consultation to find out more.
