Step inside the PlaySpacers Academy
A place for wild-hearted spaceholders in training.
“If you’re craving more than just ‘fun’ — if you want to hold space that’s alive, real, and transformative, where play connects people and how we feel together — you’re home.”
What Is This?
A facilitation training like no other.
This is for the future guides, the passionate leaders, the changemakers, and curious humans who want to learn how to create safe, connected, and transformative group experiences through the power of play.
It’s not about being the loudest in the room — it’s about reading the silence.
What Is a PlaySpacer?
A PlaySpacer is an intuitive facilitator fluent in the unspoken languages of play — body, breath, rhythm, and laughter.
They can shift a room with a gesture, open hearts with a story, and hold space with both silliness and sincerity.
PlaySpacers blend
- Ritual & ridiculousness
- Structure & surrender
- Science & silliness
- Presence & improvisation
