The Art of Kindness
Meg MacLeod and
Lorrie Streifel
Asheville, NC
Friday, July 15, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Connecting to our own direct experience of kindness can be a balm in a world that at times seems chaotic and frightening. How to be kind to ourselves and others in the face of uncertainty?
We'll play with InterPlay ideas and tools like Ecstatic Following, Appreciation, and Internal Authority to Walk, Stop, and Run on the solid ground of kindness.
You will be guided through InterPlay forms of telling, creating and improvising stories through words, movement, stillness and using vocal sounds.
The only experience you need to do InterPlay is to be alive and willing to create in the moment!
Open to anyone with a Body!
Bring a friend! We welcome one and all!
Cost: $10 - $20 sliding scale

Leaders
Meg MacLeod
Meg MacLeod has been leading InterPlay classes and workshops since 1998: in the USA, the Netherlands, Scotland, Germany and Switzerland – in on-going classes, school teachers trainings, camp counselors, university dance and drama students, and at birthdays community celebrations and conferences. She has directed and performed in numerous choreographed and InterPlay (improvisational) concerts.
Some of her main influencers are the Work of Byron Kate, her 12-step recovery and Arnold Mindell's ideas on quantum physics, the Tao and the Dreaming body.
Earlier years.
As school teacher, she regularly directed performances starring the children or brought her musician friends to her school to perform for the kids. In the mid- late-80s as an artist-in-residence, she developed and solo-performed five interactive concerts using music, stories and dance/movement to teach social studies and ecology in 24 US states, Germany and the UK.
As a community activist for Walkable Communities in the 90s she produced several highly successful conferences and two organizations until becoming physically and emotionally 'burned-out'. She credits recovery of her senses and health to InterPlay and other systems and loves to share the playfulness and trust in her intuition and in life she has recovered.
Current passions are music and song-writing, InterPlaying and becoming more fluent in the Dutch language.
