International Day of InterPlay Celebration & Fundraiser: Seattle
Seattle , WA
Saturday, October 24, 2015 • 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
On October 24, 2015 come join InterPlayers from around the world gathering in local groups to celebrate the culmination of the 25th year of InterPlay. Seattle guests, who will gather at the Home of Krista Harris will be connecting via live webcast to a dozen groups in other regions.
We will lift up the amazing ways that InterPlay has spread to other parts of the country and the world, honor wonderful leaders both in and around InterPlay communities with “Spirit of InterPlay” awards, hear inspiring stories, invite everyone to contribute and, of course, play.
Come experience the InterPlay movement by connecting and playing live with InterPlayers in over a dozen different cities!
One of the current goals of the celebration of our 25th year is to add 25 new people to the Giving Wings Society, the folks who make long-term (5 years), incremental (month by month or year by year) contributions to InterPlay. Learn more about this current Giving Wings initiative.
Other events will be held in Des Moines, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Berkeley, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Atlanta, Raleigh, Washington DC, Boston, New Haven and Chicago. More about the events in other cities.

Sharie Bowman, MA, LMHC is a Mental Health Counselor and also InterPlay's Regional Coordinator for the Pacific Northwest. In 2006, Sharie completed her training as an InterPlay leader and also received her degree in mental health counseling, so InterPlay and counseling have been woven together in her bodyspirit from the start. She finds InterPlay to be foundational in building and maintaining her personal resilience, as well supporting her work with clients. In her private practice she regularly weaves InterPlay’s life-enhancing forms and philosophies with counseling wisdom to help individuals and families thrive.
Prior to 2006, Sharie worked as a high school math teacher and found InterPlay to be the best Teacher Training she ever received. The improvisational skills that she developed immediately brought more play, creativity, and expression to her teaching as well as to classroom management.
Now Sharie finds great joy in bringing her organizational and instructional skills to the InterPlay classroom, and she often leads the foundational InterPlay Life Practice Program and mentors new leaders. She relishes sharing the joy of InterPlay far and wide, and supporting each participant in integrating InterPlay into their own lives!
