The Way of Play at Soul Revolution Festival 2025
Rewild, Rechild, Retribe: A Weekend of Transformative Play
Soul Revolution Festival is thrilled to introduce The Way of Play—a vibrant new workshop space dedicated to the art of playful connection, emotional release, and community healing. Running throughout the entire weekend, this immersive area invites festival-goers of all ages to rediscover the joy of movement, laughter, and authentic human interaction.
What Is The Way of Play?
Founded by Benny Thompson and Benji Roots, The Way of Play is a grassroots movement born from global travels, deep introspection, and a shared belief in the healing power of play. Their journey began in 2023 when they met at an eco-regenerative retreat and bonded over their passion for creating spaces where people could connect through spontaneous play and joy.
Since then, they’ve brought their unique blend of rewilding, rechilding, and retribing to festivals, schools, and communities across the UK. Their workshops are designed to help participants reconnect with their inner child, release emotional blockages, and foster a sense of belonging through movement and laughter.
What to Expect in The Way of Play Tent
Throughout the festival weekend, The Way of Play tent will host a variety of workshops and activities aimed at unlocking creativity, building trust, and enhancing emotional well-being. These sessions are open to all and require no prior experience—just a willingness to engage and have fun.
-
Playfight Sessions: Guided physical play that encourages participants to explore boundaries, build trust, and release tension in a safe and supportive environment.
-
Group Games: Interactive games designed to foster connection, laughter, and a sense of community among participants.
-
Movement Workshops: Sessions that combine elements of dance, yoga, and free movement to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and emotions.
-
Storytelling Circles: Opportunities to share personal stories and experiences, promoting empathy and understanding within the group.
