The Art of Friendship
Simple, playful practices that will enhance your relationships...and transform your life!
Gretchen Wegner
Oakland, CA
Sunday, September 25 • 10 am–4:30 pm
With special guest teacher Sister Jewel
What builds enduring friendships? How can we connect with others more playfully? How might friends process the icky parts of relationship more joyfully?
We’ll explore these questions through InterPlay forms and mindfulness practices that enhance and deepen our connections to self and other.
Please join two childhood friends—Gretchen Wegner (InterPlay facilitator) and Sister Jewel (dharma teacher in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh)—as they explore what their very different yet surprisingly similar traditions have to say about the gifts of playing mindfully with others.
Please bring your own lunch.
Cost: $70, or bring a friend and pay $50/each. Tuition assistance is available; contact gretchen.wegner@gmail.com to inquire.

Leaders
Gretchen Wegner
Gretchen Wegner is a teacher, performer, and academic life coach who delights in helping others find expressive freedom. When she first came to InterPlay she was a burned out brainiac with degrees in Intercultural/Post-Colonial Performance Studies and Education (phew!); now she is an impassioned storyteller, dancer and teacher (yay!). Her warm presence and structured classes make the technique of InterPlay fun, accessible and transformative. Gretchen teaches the Tuesday night drop-in class at InterPlayce and performs with Wing-It Ensemble.
