[Temple Playgrounds] is a living playground of immersive experiences designed to spark connection and personal transformation—through play, art, and adaptive technology.
The name reflects its dual nature: “Temple” evokes depth, presence, and introspection—a space to reconnect with what matters. “Playgrounds” brings lightness, creativity, and safety—a place to explore, experiment, and grow at your own pace.
- Gamification as permission to dare
- Adaptive to your own comfort zone
- Art as a bridge between connection and disconnection
Each experience gently invites you to explore the edges of your comfort zone, offering just enough challenge to grow, and just enough safety to stay open.
The playground
Expansion happens at the edge of our comfort zone.
This playground meets you right where you are. Each installation or performance dynamically adapts to your unique “comfort profile”, letting you engage at your own rhythm. Sometimes that means joyful play; sometimes, quiet insight; sometimes, a stretch into something new.
The project reimagines personal growth as something you play, feel, and embody—not something you must “work on.” It invites you into symbolic experiences that feel like rituals, quests, or games—but always rooted in your real, human self.
It takes a whole tribe to raise a transformational playground. A global tribe. Our collective gathers creators at the intersection of arts, mindfulness and innovation with the intention to create artworks that create a powerful positive impact on individuals and communities.
The playground dimensions
[Temple Playgrounds] is a living constellation of interactive artworks—each one a portal into a different facet of the human experience.
Though each piece stands on its own, they’re connected through a shared emotional arc and a central system that listens, adapts, and responds. Companion objects and sensory cues guide each participant to the experience that meets them where they are—gently stretching their comfort zone without pushing too far. It’s not a path you follow. It’s a field you explore. What you encounter depends on who you are, and how ready you feel.

Playground components – some of our installations
[Lightpaint] is an interactive installation where you draw with light, using your body as a brush and movement as intention. In a darkened space, you guide a light through the air, your gestures captured in real time as a layered, luminous image.
There’s no right way—only play, curiosity, and the invitation to try again. For some, it’s joyful improvisation. For others, it becomes a quiet, embodied wish: a glimpse of who they’re becoming.
The result is a moving image that reflects your presence back to you—not fixed, but unfolding.

[Reflections] is an interactive installation that creates space for something rare: genuine pause.
At its center, a light sculpture breathes and responds — a shared presence that draws people in without demanding anything of them. Around it, individual [Pods] offer optional, self-guided sensory experiences: shor t, intimate journeys inward, lasting 10 to 15 minutes, designed to be entered easily and exited gently.
No screens. No instructions. No performance required.

Come with something you’ve lived through. Leave with something that lives through you.
[Celebrations] is a participatory ritual disguised as a dancefloor moment. Step onto a raised platform—an augmented altar of light and sound—and claim a personal transformation through a simple phrase and a resonant call. The crowd answers in unison. Your voice becomes part of the music, your story woven into the night.
Playful and raw, this is not a performance—it’s a chance to be witnessed, to turn private growth into collective rhythm. A ceremonial remix of who you’ve become.

It takes a tribe to raise a playground. Our creator residencies/labs are one of the cornerstones of the playground, to gather like-minded creators at the intersection of art, transformation and technology – including artists, technologist, creators of transformational experiences and producers.
As we embark on a week-long journey—where personal and collective processes open the path to deeper layers of introspection and connection—we see powerful, impactful works emerge that create a deeper impact on our audiences.
Our residencies are held regularly in Montreal and Mexico City. We envision to have satellites around the world that foster the transmission of art and know-how through a solid worldwide community.
A week to play, create, and collaborate with other artists.
We gather every season for one week of co-creation — ending with a public showcase where we share works-in-progress, performances, and experiments.
An art residency and creative playground where artists, makers, and experience designers come together.
And then we hold monthly cowork spaces to keep the community alive.

For Artists
You’re not just invited to contribute—you’re invited to co-create. Join a collective effort to design transformative, multisensory experiences that live between performance, installation, and ritual. Collaborate with others at the intersection of embodiment, interactivity, sound, and emotional resonance.
For Creators of Transformational, Life-changing Experiences
Not a ceremony. Not a game. And, in a way, both. [Temple Playgrounds] is a space for symbolic action, embodied expression, and meaning-making—without the fuzz. If your work brings presence, integration, or play into transformative settings, this is your ecosystem.
For Producers & Presenters
Looking for something more than a spectacle? Temple Playgrounds brings a living, adaptive experience to your space—shaped by interaction, built for modularity, and capable of deep audience impact. Designed to flex across formats (installations, rituals, performances), it scales to fit festivals, cultural venues, and public art programs.
For Researchers & Creative Technologists
This is a living lab for emotional infrastructure. Temple Playgrounds explores how adaptive systems can respond to the edge of a person’s comfort zone—moment by moment. With the integration of subtle biofeedback tools, there’s rich potential for measuring the impact of each experience on presence, emotion, and growth. From onboarding to decompression, every phase offers opportunities to study embodied transformation in real-time. Collaborate on developing systems that sense, respond, and learn—where data meets meaning, and insight becomes design.
