Play to Restore

Play to Restore is a drop‑in restorative experience designed to support the Heal Together 2026: Rest initiative. Rooted in the belief that rest can take many forms, this program invites the campus community to step away from academic and work demands and engage in playful, creative, and low-pressure activities that help reset the mind and body.

Participants will have access to a variety of restorative play options, including board games, coloring, crafting, LEGO building, outdoor lawn games, video games, and free play within the Corner Pocket. This space encourages community members to slow down, reconnect with joy, and experience rest not as withdrawal, but as a meaningful practice of healing and renewal. Whether someone comes alone to quietly color or joins others for collaborative gameplay, Play to Restore offers a welcoming environment where rest is respected, community is honored, and restoration is accessible.

Play to Restore is hosted by: The Center for Leadership and Intercultural Engagement, Community Engagement and Civic Learning, and Contemporary Student Services in partnership with the Office of Access Compliance and Community as part of Heal Together 2026
