Aaron Finbloom

I am an ideological polytheist devoted to worshipping the Gods of: play, truth, authenticity, imagination, transformation and beauty.

My life work is to creatively expand, collage and integrate healing & fine arts practices through conversation scores, relational games, live action role play, performance art and experimental dance. I am the co-founder of The School of Making Thinking (SMT) and the founder/director of The Deep Play Institute (DPI).

I have training in Circling, Psychodrama, Buddhist Meditation and Process Oriented Psychology and holds a PhD in relational practice from Concordia University in Montreal. My projects have been featured internationally at venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Gallery 151 in New York, Maschinenhaus Kulturbrauerei in Berlin, UNAM in Mexico City, Performance Works Northwest in Portland, and MainLine Theatre in Montreal.

I currently teach philosophy at the City College of New York. finblooming.com

Nice things People say about me

​”Aaron and The Deep Play Institute’s workshop was a joyous, deep, uplifting experience. I felt both held in safety and able to expand my range.”

—

“Aaron was a skilled facilitator and space holder. I felt myself go from feeling unsure and trepidatious about the weekend to feeling so much love, connection and safety by the end of the weekend. Aaron also taught us skills we can use on our own and with friends so we can integrate some of this work into our lives. I’d definitely recommend this workshop and look forward to attending more events with the Deep Play Institute.”

—

“The facilitator did an excellent job of creating a safe environment to play, explore and dive deep. I learned some valuable tools to help support myself. I experienced a lot of compassion for others as I witnessed their challenges.”

—

“Aaron creates a comfortable container for self and group exploration. He holds space for emergent expression and sensitive exploration. During the weekend intensive, there was a moment when I was in a role, got confused and panicked. I was able to say so and he was right there to help me get my bearings again. So grateful to get to explore my edge and psyche in a low pressure environment.”
