Join InterPlay co-founders Cynthia Winton-Henry & Phil Porter to get your year started in style!
What will we do?
Open Up. Shake out 2015! Move. Make art. Tell stories from the year and dream about the next one. Do some Fake Fortune-telling.
Touch your truth. Get blessed. Welcome stillness. Witness mystery. Notice and tell. Enjoy rich company.
InterPlay practices (movement, stillness, word, voice, movement and more) reveal and allow the expression of personal and collective visions for the year.
We'll share an art and food potuck! Bring art, writing, images, that you want to release to others! Soup provided for Saturday’s lunch!
Open to both new and advanced InterPlayers and everything in between!
Affordable! This event is a $175 value, but pay what you can!
