Poiticipate

We have traveled the world to track down the most enthusiastic poi innovators and masters of arts that can contribute to poi. Coming to one of our poi workshops or retreats is good for all of us! Spring 2012 will be a big year of poi retreats in Costa Rica. It's easy to spread the word!

We have referral programs with some of our favorite online poi shops. When you shop with them we get a percentage of anything you purchase, as long as you click through from playpoi.com or use the appropriate referral code, and that goes a long way in funding us. It's another one of those win/win/win situations, where you win twice! 

Note: Our code with Homeofpoi is "playpoi" and our new code with Flowtoys is playpoi4fun. 

Sharing Playpoi videos, lessons, and events on social networks is an easy way to support us! 

If you go to the full page of any post (by clicking on the title of a teaser or the "read more" link at the bottom) you will find a ShareThis widget at the top and a Disqus comments widget at the bottom. ShareThis lets you promote the content directly onto your social networking accounts and Disqus gives you a way to discuss the content of the page via your favourite social networking service such as Facebook, Twitter, OpenID, and Google.

We bet you've already done this and we want to extend our gratitude for that. Thank you for sharing the love!

Our two DVDs, Scales of Poi and Adventures in Poi: Moves, help fund our artistic endeavors. This is the ultimate win/win/win situation: you buy some amazing DVDs, we get to buy some video equipment, and then you get more videos. You win twice!

If you love the DVDs, be sure to tell people about them, including your favorite poi gear shops.  Click "read more" below to check out a few ways we've discovered to spread the word.

Poi isn't Nick Woolsey's only talent. He's also a terrific writer!  Emails from (Over?) the Edge, a tale based on his own life, is moving, inspirational, and revealing.  It makes a great gift to young people who are in the process of finding themselves.

All book sales help Playpoi, because Nick's a pretty dedicated guy and he's currently putting most of his efforts into poi artistry.

Donating some actual cash is a very direct and effective way to support us. You can consider it a way to thank us for all the videos and photography we have given you, or you can do it to be a patron of the arts.

To aid your decision process, we have made up the following statistics:

• Patrons of the Arts are 35% more likely to have great sex on any given night (and 43% more on Saturdays) than those who do not support the arts
• Two out of three Patrons of the Arts are more intelligent than those who are not patrons of the arts
• 80% of those who become Patrons of the Arts lose 5-15 pounds within six months of their patronage. The amount of weight lost appears to be proportional to the amount of support given. Those who support the movement arts tend to lose weight from their legs, butts, and tummies, while those who support more classical arts like Broadway musicals tend to lose weight from their feet and ears.
