The ALP / Playground Approach

OUR PROGRAMS
How Can I Get an ALP Certification?
We define three channels of certification and are dedicated to providing the best training opportunities to support and spread the ALP mindset, tools, and ways to incorporate ALP into your daily life. While many practices focus solely on “being” (turning inward, connecting with the body, and shifting focus) or “doing” (enhancing efficiency, productivity, and usefulness), the ALP approach uniquely integrates both.
The ALP mindset combines being and doing into an interconnected flow we describe as DO-BE-DO-BE-DO. ALP, which stands for Active Listening Playground, is the framework for an art form we call Reflexive Music. Reflexive Music invites individuals to become active listeners, composers, conductors, performers, and ultimately holistic performers. This mindset fosters a seamless balance between being and doing, creating an ongoing rhythm of DO-BE-DO-BE-DO. Why pursue this mindset? Our experience shows it enhances productivity, reduces frustration, and nurtures happiness.
The ALP/Playground Approach & Tools was developed by interdisciplinary composer Keren Rosenbaum, who, from an early age, lived with synesthesia—a rare neurological condition that blends sensory experiences. This unique perspective led her to develop Reflexive Music, a distinctive form of musical expression. Reflexive Listening, a cornerstone of this practice, is like listening in 4D. Unlike reflective listening, which mirrors the other person, reflexive listening creates unison with yourself and your partner, transforming any moment into an active listening playground. In this space, creativity and joy flow continuously.
The purpose of the ALP Approach is to cultivate playfulness, both for oneself and for others, as a way of life.
