InterPlay Australia is thrilled to welcome Cynthia Winton-Henry as lead facilitator of our Summer Untensives to be held in Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide this January.
Summer Play January workshops will provide space for learning to unlock the power and wisdom within your own body. There will also be incredible opportunities to hear first-hand about the peace and justice focussed play taking place throughout the InterPlay movement internationally. Hazel Fernandes from InterPlay India will be visiting to learn and to play with people who share her concern about the poverty and marginalisation that is the root cause of much of the violence in our world. She and other InterPlay leaders have been witness to amazing transformations taking place particularly in poor rural communities and city based slums in places such as Mumbai in India.
