As part of the IT Wellness Program, I will be giving an interactive talk on "The Power of Play" at Rose Hill on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. We often think of play as a childhood activity that we outgrow as adults. Learn about the many reasons why adults need play too. And how you can incorporate the power of play in your life!
