The Octaband®

The Octaband® is a playful, interactive tool to enhance a sense of belonging and connection for group members of all ages and abilities through movement.

The Octaband® is a visual representation of the idea that each person is an individual at the same time as being an integral group member. The legs provide the opportunity to pull, representing a separate and autonomous self, while also creating group cohesion.

The Octaband®’s bright colors, stretchy material, and innovative design invite curiosity and playfulness, motivating people to move and connect with each other.

Like its namesake, the octopus, the Octaband® is very adaptable. It can be squeezed into smaller spaces by rolling the band around one’s wrist several times. Conversely, the Octaband® can expand into larger spaces by stretching out the legs.

Manifest in the image of the Octaband® is the idea that each of us is unique and connected to a larger whole ~ a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, a whole that bubbles up with synergy.
