About this event

Inspired by the improv game “Yes, Let's!”, this two-hour experience uses guided group games, playful movement and creative exercises to help participants unwind, ease overthinking, reconnect with creativity and connect with others. It is for adults looking for a break from everyday stress, a chance to rediscover play or an opportunity to meet people. The activities are beginner-friendly. You can participate at your own pace or sit out any activity; there is no performance pressure and no obligation to share anything personal.

The event runs on October 31, 2026, from 4 to 6 pm at Maison de la Francophonie de Vancouver. Admission is by donation, and no one will be turned away because of financial barriers. Contributions help cover room rental, materials and future sessions. Registration: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/yes-lets-play-for-our-mental-health-event-in-english-tickets-2002563453196.

The event is led by Elaine, Caro and Ingrid. Ingrid founded Griottes Polyglottes, a nonprofit organization that uses play, theatre and storytelling to build confidence, foster inclusion and create social change. The organizers aim to create an inclusive, supportive and non-judgmental space for people of all identities and backgrounds. Harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated. This is not a therapy session or a substitute for professional mental health care.

The room is on the building’s second floor. The building is wheelchair accessible from the street, and an elevator provides access to the room. Gendered bathrooms are available on the first and second floors. For accessibility questions or accommodation requests, contact contact@griottespolyglottes.com.
