Episode description

Play seems like the last thing any of us are prioritizing right now, but a conversation between Dr Drea and Tom highlights the importance of play for all of us - as a way of coping, connecting, surviving and even thriving through these late pandemic days. What actually constitutes play though is a fascinating thing to consider...

Alan Watts Quotes: 

“This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

“Existence, in the physical universe, is basically playful.”
