Our Mission

Our mission is to create dynamic, immersive experiences that explore and expand your capacity for authentic self-expression and personal growth. Through meaningful connection and play, we invite you to uncover new depths, embrace your truth, and step boldly into the fullness of who you are.

Our Heart-full Culture

We create gatherings that encourage people to come together, expand and grow, and experience the bliss of heart-full connection. Expansion and growth isn’t always comfy! You might even take some risks. We believe that daring to take risks is the juice of life!  We also believe that care, boundaries, and structure create the perfect place for nurturing growth. 

The cultivation of our culture is the heart of SoulPlay and how we make lasting impact in the world. 




The SoulPlay Guide to Playful Times

How to Cultivate a Nourishing Culture

GET CURIOUS
& CLEAR

Asking for a hug before hugging someone is the SoulPlay way. Saying, "I like you and I'd like to get to know you" is hot. Finding out what level of connection a person is up for BEFORE engaging is awesome.

THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE

Just because someone says yes once doesn't mean they'll say it again. Changing one's mind in the middle is totally valid. Saying "Thank you for taking care of yourself" when they say "no" is a great way to show you care.

SLOW
DOWN

Slowing down supports deep listening. Listen with your entire body for the “no”, the “maybe”, the “I’m not sure” inside yourself and the other person. It is much easier to stop when going slow and will help everyone to know when you’ve hit a boundary and avoid regrets.

STAY OPEN 
TO REPAIR

Being a caring person is less about never making mistakes & more about how you clean them up after they happen. Be ready to listen & take feedback when someone tells you things went too far.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS

Just because one thing can’t happen doesn’t mean something else is out. Hitting a bump is a call for creativity. “I’m not up for that, but I’d be into…” is skillful negotiating. Remember, a clear no helps everyone move on to other possibilities.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

Being truthful about your relationship status, your availability, and your expectations is important. If your connection gets sexual, discussing your habits and health risks are the foundation of being a SoulPlay rockstar.

CHECK-IN
AT THE END

Having a clear closing is key to keeping your SoulPlay sweeties feeling cared for and respected. Honor them to the end and thank them for sharing themselves with you.

SOULSUPPORT
CAN HELP

See the SoulSupport team if you need emotional support, have questions, want to learn how to be smooth at asking for what you want. We’re here for you if you’ve had a fight, something felt off, or if you have questions about how to handle and issue.

SEE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS ATTENTION?

If you see or experience behavior that is inappropriate or out of line at SoulPlay events, please tell the SoulSupport Team or SoulStaff. We like to catch consent breaks early and often so we can prevent further issues.  (Examples: lack of sobriety, you feel unsafe, you’ve said STOP more than once.)

LISTEN FOR THE “OH YES”!

Yes means yes, everything else means no or time to clarify. Not doing anything until you hear, see, and feel a “YES!” is how we do it at SoulPlay.
