Discover resources for spirit-centered living.
Body as Prayer
Cynthia Winton-Henry
One day only! Sunday, April 25 • 2-5 pm
Seeking integration of body and spirit? Curious to sidestep the ego-mind and live from your inner trust? Ready for a spiritual practice that embraces the body and leads with joy and confidence?
Discover resources for spirit-centered living.
This workshop offers a soulful place to discover, discern, and welcome the wisdom of the body through practices that develop ease in movement, voice, stillness, and sharing stories. Beginning with one-hand dances, one-breath songs, hand-to-hand movement with partners and thirty-second stories about light-hearted and meaningful topics, explore the power of witnessing, noticing and affirmation in soulwork. Explore InterPlay’s tools to enrich your spiritual life and practice:
• Dance on behalf of others
• “Exform” the information overload in our bodies
• Retrieve soul by including the body
• Nurture a physicality of grace
• Meditate through movement
• Discern through body wisdom
• Affirm and being affirmed.
InterPlay opens paths of connection between people of all sorts—in prisons, schools, between cultures and faiths. Great for spiritual leaders, healers, and anyone interested in reintegrating body, mind, heart, and spirit in an elegant, creative manner.

As an artist, auhtor and mentor, she can be found on Substack at The Dancing Center where her research into "what the body wants" in community arts, shelters, churches, businesses, classrooms, and everyday life led her to create the somatic curricula she needs to address racism, leadership for the Earth, and the Arts of Ensoulment. Featured on the Body Intelligence Summit, Spiritual Directors International, and as a credential facilitator for the Sacred Dance, her publications include What the Body Wants; Dance - A Sacred Art: Discovering the Joy of Movement as Spiritual Practice, Chasing the Dance of Life: A Faith Journey, and The Art of Ensoulment: How to Create From Body and Soul..
