About this event
After a truly Revolutionary year, we wanted to dive back into the creative and vibrant minds of our amazing community. So we came together to think about our hopes, dreams for our community, and a desire to breathe joy and warmth back into our lives.
Wonder encapsulates the senses of curiosity, whimsy, play, and awe that many of us have been looking for in the recesses of our shared isolation. The very catalyst for inspiration and empathy, wonder moves our thoughts, behaviors, and spirits into action.
You’re invited to celebrate Issue 05: Wonder, both IRL and URL, this October with the Slant'd family, no matter where you are in the world.
Event Description
For the Denver Amplifiers, “Wonder” immediately conjures up the pure & unbridled curiosity that comes with childhood. We’re excited to bring our Denver community an afternoon of play and joyful recreation. We hope to harness your imagination and disengage from the inhibitions of adulthood so you can see yourself in ways you often suppress by accessing your joy, playfulness, and wonder. Together, let’s shed the ways in which we no longer want to see ourselves and commune with our inner children.
This gathering will be held outdoors if weather permits. If weather does not permit, we’ll be moving to Zoom.
What to Expect
This gathering will include field day fun for all energies alike -- we’re calling them “uptempo” and “downtempo” activities. If you’re feeling called to rev up, you can hula hoop, play tag or water balloon toss with your fellow energizer bunnies, or make giant bubbles. If you’re wanting to mellow out, you can play games (We’re Not Really Strangers to wonder with another, for example), color, or face paint. We’ll begin our time together with an opening activity and close it out with a short reflection.
