Leaders
Stephen Condit
After decades in higher education and technology, Steve rediscovered life-below-the-neck through movement and the embodied voice practices of Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms® and Chloe Goodchild’s The Naked Voice. His explorations have also included taking Aikido with his son and studying embodied leadership with Richard Strozzi-Heckler. But all this was just a prelude to InterPlay. Steve says “for me, discovering InterPlay was like coming home. InterPlay combines my major life interests, movement, voice, storytelling, and stillness and has opened new, easier paths for my personal and spiritual growth, all in the context of play. It has provided balance to my intellectual and serious approach to life and restored my joy and creativity.” Steve has co-facilitated Secrets of InterPlay and the Life Practice so that others may rediscover the joy of play and learn that transformation does not have to involve struggle.
TraceyJoy Miller
TraceyJoy has been InterPlaying since 1999. She discovered InterPlay in the Twin Cities, trained as an InterPlay leader in Oakland for three years; live and led InterPlay in the Seattle area for 12 years before returning to the Twin Cities in 2022. Since her 20’s she has studied and applied a variety of approaches to accessing the wisdom of her body and healing. And, she loves supporting others to do the same. She spent many years committed to working on herself; working to become “good enough”. Thankfully InterPlay has brought a balance of levity, playfulness, and community to her life long, sincere explorations as a human being. She considers herself a “Recovering Serious Person”.
Rev. Harriet Platts
Rev. Harriet Platts, MS, MDiv, MA is committed to nurturing relationships and spaces for curiosity, play, and reflection! She trained as an IP leader in Seattle with Krista Gemmell Harris and Rev. Laurie Rudel, in 2003 – 2004. She has co-led cohorts of the Seattle Life Practice program in 2013-2014, 2015-2016, and taught/led multiple InterPlay Class Playshops. Harriet brings a depth of life experience as a chaplain (Protestant), group facilitator, artist, and teacher. By applying the InterPlay forms in diverse settings like team meetings and faith-based retreats, she continues to witness unfolding gifts of connection to the natural landscape of body, voice and spirit. She is a QUEST-ioning soul, always venturing aloud with her ‘wonderings,’ and generously offers an attentive, steadied, vivid presence with whomever she’s connected.
