Interconnected: The Promising Path of Story, Music and Movement to Build a Way Forward
"More than a symbol, the Parliament is an instrument of peace."
Join 30 InterPlayers who pre-enrolled with Cynthia Winton-Henry to share in daily InterPlay meet ups, sit together in plenaries, create contemplative flash mobs, eat meals, and contribute to the InterPlay workshop "Interconnected: The Promising Path." In this powerful time of global reflection, prayer, and community you will have support from the wisdom of the body.
To be part of the InterPlay contingency enroll first yourself on the Parliament site.
Then register with InterPlay to be looped into specific activities and donate at the level of your ability to support Body Wisdom's leadership and organizing.
Go to the Parliament Website to book your hotel asap near the Metro Toronto Convention Center. The Parliament Hotel Block tends to be in the $250/night price range. Do check other hotels in the downtown area.
InterPlay Workshop Description: Discover resources to help unlock the soulful landscape of personal story-telling, movement and voice to more quickly bridge and reconcile people and communities. In this participatory workshop the loving power of the healing arts is brought in service to the Parliament through the mindful, creative practices of InterPlay as first introduced by Masankho Banda at the 2004 Parliament of World Religions in Barcelona and again in Salt Lake City in 2015. Joined by over thirty leaders from diverse traditions, InterPlay co-founder Cynthia Winton-Henry, a religious professional, will guide women, youth and men to: • Creatively communicate across languages and traditions. • Joyfully unpack the Parliament experience • Tap the power of the moment through artful sharing • Learn to breathe, release tension and reconcile to the sacred nature of the body first. • Explore creative exchanges that lead to a changing, dynamic and yet balanced world where both individuals and the group feel coordinated while honoring all spiritualities.
