Join a range of world class speakers, including Professor Stephen Porges, Ruth Lanius, and Sir Mark Solomon for a multi-day trauma conference in Christchurch, NZ.

Join an incredible line-up of play therapy speakers online or in-person for the 2nd Annual Neuroscience of Play Therapy Summit. Play is healing and allows us to experience hybrid states of safety in connection and distress at the same time, which greatly supports the therapeutic process. Every detail of this conference was thoughtfully designed with the Polyvagal Theory in mind, and we welcome Dr. Stephen Porges as our Keynote speaker in a participatory conversation about the therapeutic benefits of play and how it supports the autonomic nervous system.
