Wednesday, January 15—Mucking About in the Swamp of Relationships

Doesn't matter whether we're talking about lovers, friends, partners, colleagues, spouses, family or ancestors, we find both wonder and pain in our relationships. Sometimes we're gliding across the lake of love on waterskis and other times we're stuck in the mud.

How can find more joy, power and satisfaction and avoid feeling left out, dumped or trapped?

Cynthia breaks down the dance of attachment, mirror neurons, and trauma and sheds light on the mechanics of interpersonal, familial, and cultural connections using the Healthy Interaction Check List.

Apply some basic body wisdom to your relationships and watch them thrive! Learn why it will work better to play your way to love rather than work at it.

And eat a cupcake!

Vocalist, pianist and InterPlay leader, Stephanie Pile, will lend her warm, rich mezzo voice to a variety of jazz, Broadway and popular musical pieces. Stephanie has an extensive choral, musical theater and church music background and also co-leads a women’s monthly a cappella singing circle, Singing in a New World.

Leaders
Cynthia Winton-Henry
Cynthia Winton-Henry, M.Div., co-founded InterPlay and Body Wisdom, Inc., with Phil Porter. Her interest in supporting body and soul led her to curate the Hidden Monastery Online Dance Chapels and courses for those seeking the spiritual intelligence needed for our time at cynthiawinton-henry.com.. 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..
