Meet your Facilitator, Morgan Shidler.
Hi! I’m Morgan. I built Hustle &. Play because I burned out before I could balance the big work I want to do & the fun I was born to have.
I always had purpose and activism. I always had “play” in some form. I always had workouts. And therapy. And plenty of sex & dating.
Turns out if you don’t have a way of tying it all together, it gets the best of you. You can learn more about my story here.
I’ve always believed community is the source of all healing, innovation & growth; but it wasn’t until it emerged through our work with H&P that I realized that stewarding community was my life’s work.
These retreats continue to blow me away - the way these women show up with courage, joy, reverence, and care astounds me. Creating a container for this to happen is my greatest joy.
I’ve been facilitating play workshops, activities, & retreats since the mid-2000’s. I promise I know how to get a party going and make sure you’re included in every moment (and have permission to dip out when you’re ready!)
“Morgan’s facilitation was awesome! She knew when to keep it tight, when to loosen up and was great at “reading the room” and knowing when it was time to pivot! I felt like the H&P part of the week was the perfect mix of structured activities/conversation and open times for us to dig into our book.”
-A. Badami-Knight

“Under Morgan's guidance and leadership, the most magickal retreat was curated and cultivated. She created a space to be our most vulnerable, authentic, and courageous self.”
-S. Hanif-Cruz

what participants have said about Morgan…
“She is clearly living into her values on the daily and leading and facilitation is what she was made to do. So impressed by the level of thoughtfulness in the structure of the weekend. The flow was wonderful.”
