Most of us had a favorite game as a kid and we might have regularly spent an entire weekend or summer doing nothing but playing and exploring the world. Eventually, we were encouraged to “grow up” or “be more mature” and play time morphed into work time and responsibility. Local non-profit Inner Child Studio is on a serious mission to help people question our cultural expectations and become a lot less serious. Whatcom County businesswoman and Inner Child Studio Founder, Rachel Andrews, is bringing creative play to all ages and walks of life throughout the Pacific Northwest. She takes her “work” on the road to veterans, the homeless, people with disabilities, and businesses. In addition to being just plain fun, that play is intended to improve health, reduce stress, teach valuable skills, and improve everyone’s quality of life.
