A lovely video produced by TED's curator Chris Anderson. Like "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" this video points out the important co-dependent relationship betweem questions and answers. Are we in pursuit of knowledge? Or are we in pursuit of questions? Or both? What we choose to pursue plays a large role in who we become.
What Is Playful Inquiry?
Inquiry
Inquiry is the science, art and spirit of imagination. We naturally associate Inquiry with the logical mind’s intent to satisfy curiosity, solve problems, and explore ideas. Inquiry helps us connect our prior understanding to new experiences, modify and accommodate our previously held beliefs and conceptual models, and construct new knowledge.

Playful
Playful describes a state of surrender. It involves being open, letting go, and embracing unexpected direction or results. Being playful has positive effects on the body and the brain. Problem solving ability increases after a person has spent some time laughing. This works because laughter turns off the posterior hypothalamus and allows the cerebral cortex to focus on a given task.
Antonyms found in the dictionary: Earnest, serious-minded, sober, humorless, serious, working

The Importance of Activity and Movement
One of our activities is Whoosh - Bang - Pow, which we found nicely described in a YouTube video:
By keeping movement woven throughout the day, our body's circulation is stimulated, which increases our opportunities for insights, retention, and integration. Movement is one of the things that improves our creativity and allows us to maximize our intellect. Playful Inquiry is simply the active practice of several principle ways to improve brain power, combined with articulating situations in the form of a question.
