About this Event
110 Carlton Street, Athens, GA 30602
In this playshop, we will begin by discussing experiences of play-based learning in early childhood education, and its connection to “mindbodyspirit” as a learning disposition. Next, participants will explore hands-on wonder experiences that engage the senses and connect with the body as part of a playful writing process. Together, we will share our findings, our writing, and explore the ways in which “wonder experiences” can create expansive doorways to holistic literacy.
Workshop Facilitator: Dylan Brody

As a current doctoral student in the department of Educational Theory and Practice at UGA, they are passionate about cultivating spaces of wonder as a practice of liberating our learning spaces. They believe play to be a powerful portal for tapping into literacies of the human spirit while making meaning of the world(s) we encounter throughout the lifespan.
