🤔 Is this for me?
This community might be a good fit for you if:
- You’d like to find more play, spontaneity or joy in your life.
- You’re having a creative block, feeling disconnected from your purpose, going through a transition, or thinking of making a change.
- You’re constantly taking online courses, reading personal development books, listening to podcasts but want a space where you don’t need to strive for anything and make ‘personal development’ fun instead of a ‘should-do’.
- You struggle to trust your intuition or make decisions; or you overthink, feel stuck, and spend more time planning than taking action.
- You’re good at what you do or you’re happy with who you are, but feel there’s more of yourself you’d like to discover and are looking for a safe space to do that.
🌟 Our Mission
The default mode in our busy-world today is ‘doing’. Value is placed on what we do and how well we do it. We live in a society where productivity and optimisation is the highest value and we’re always striving to get things done. As adults, we’re super-optimising machines. We’re acutely aware of our limited time on this earth and we want to do everything we can to make the most of that time. We make plans, set goals and take action. All aspects of ‘doing’. But in our effort to move forward, we forget that an alternative mode is available. In our effort to ‘do’, we’re losing touch with our inner wisdom and ability to listen to our bodies. Loneliness, burnout, distraction, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome are so common today. Could these be a product of our inability to unwind, slow down and deeply connect to what is happening in this moment right now? Unfold is a response to this.
Unfold is the counter-space to our default mode of living. Our main goal at Unfold is to re-connect you with the parts of yourself that involve feeling, being, moving, and playing, rather than just the parts that involve thinking, planning, doing, and achieving (as useful as those are for navigating the human world…). Using play, movement and improv, we’ll connect you to your innate sense of wonder, presence and spontaneity. Neuroscience has taught us that our brains are plastic, they adapt based on the habits we repeat. By engaging with play, we can adopt new habits. And the more adaptable our brains are, the more interesting our lives will be as we move through the world. The more open we’ll be to learning and experiencing new things. The more joy we’ll find in our day to day lives. The more we’ll learn to trust ourselves to deal with stress and uncertainty. Operating from the principles of play opens us up and creates the conditions for life to unfold through us. Join us for this unique online experience and let your inner sense of wonder & wisdom unfold.
“Our brains are built to benefit from play no matter what our age.”— Theresa A. Kestly

🌊 Facilitator
Ocean Kiani
I am deeply fascinated by the role of play, movement, and curiosity in shaping our lived experiences, whether through our felt-sense or the stories we tell. The philosophy of Unfold is rooted in my belief that “if you don’t move, you can’t move” and that all learning happens through the body in relationship with the world.
I hold a BSc in Psychology, with a specialisation in Child Development. I am trained in the Non-Linear Movement Method®, a body based-movement modality designed to increase sensory awareness and release tension. I am also a trained actress and a dedicated student of movement practices, the nervous system, philosophy, improv, relating and creative expression.
People often remark that they feel a sense of ease and spaciousness in my presence. My mission is to inspire people to keep moving and exploring. I’m not sure what shape this mission will take, and I’m open to seeing what unfolds as I continue to show up in the world when I do things that feel in alignment with who I am.
