Families deserve spaces that feel good for everyone.

Gather + Play creates spaces where kids can explore and parents can relax, reconnect, and join the fun. Our pop ups are designed to bring warmth, laughter, and connection into family life. We invite both kids and parents to participate, explore, and have fun while promoting community engagement.

Welcome — I’m Alix, the founder of Gather + Play.

Gather + Play was born from a simple belief: connection is essential to our health and wellbeing. As a preventive medicine physician and a mother, I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful moments—big and small—shape the way we grow, heal, and thrive.

I created Gather + Play to bring together the science of wellbeing and the art of community. Every experience we host is intentionally crafted to spark joy, creativity, and connection—for children, for parents, and for anyone craving a more present way of living.

This isn’t just a series of events. It’s a movement toward living with more presence, purpose, and joy.


I’m so glad you’re here!
