Since bodies are where are the injuries of racism most heavily impact people of color in the global majority and white people as well, the body is where healing must arise.Cynthia Winton-Henry InterPlay Cofounder and Soyinka Rahim, Grassroots Spiritual Practionner, skillfully lead participants who are ready to re-engage ways that communities have turned to over time, the telling of stories, the singing of songs, and the drum and dance of body and soul with plenty of easeful time to notice and share.

The smart approach known as InterPlay, used in settings around the world has never been put to better use!

Friday Night 7-9

In a spirit of love and hope we start Changing the Race Dance by inviting all generations to a place where we can place that invites our understandings and misunderstandings about racism. Soyinka's amazing songs and chants from her CD BIBO LOVE help us unlock the needed body wisdom so often submerged by dominant practices and beliefs. Celebrating that we fall down, and we get up, together we take steps where we can decide to * invite a more common, collective wisdom * open doors and widen circles that celebrate difference * listen, witness, and affirm each body, mind, heart, and spirit • explore personal questions and experiences regarding racism, and social action. • learn how to move, breathe, roar, and create anew. Saturday 10-4:30

The Saturday workshop builds on the night before as Soyinka Rahim and Cynthia Winton-Henry share take away tools and approaches from InterPlay that help people engage wholistic spiritual intelligence for addressing racism. Practices, ideas, and forms lead both activists and those just starting on a journey that really shifts how we change the dance of racism to one where that increases health, happiness, equity, and freedom among all people.

Changing the Race Dance has been xperienced in Washington D.C., Cleveland, Atlanta, Louisville, Oakland, Virginia’s Eastern Shore, Austin Texas, and Boston, in workshops, conferences, and foundations.
