Leaders
Hilary Martin Himan
Hilary first discovered InterPlay as an undergraduate at Macalester College in 1995! She has enjoyed playing with Cynthia and Phil's toolbox (and Cynthia and Phil!) every since, inspired by mentors in Minnesota, Connecticut, and Oregon. Hilary realized if she wanted more friends to play, she probably needed to become a leader, and finally got off her duff a couple years ago to become certified. Hilary works part-time at Lewis and Clark College in the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, and is kept busy with her two young children and amazing spouse. Hilary enjoys using InterPlay in her college context and elsewhere- inspiring incrementality and trying to live into it all.
Marci Rau, BCC
Marci (she/her) is commited to delight, awe, and laughter in the midst of a world that needs these more now than ever. Life also has presented opportunities to go deep into suffering close to home and around the world. Working with groups and individuals in their grief and processing what empowers others has been a lifelong activity. She has worked as a Chaplain for over 25 years in Hospice and Trauma Hospitals. During the pandemic InterPlay tools provided her body and soul refuge and a semblance of sanity.
The ocean and mountains and daily noticiings of nature also have provide solace, comfort, healing, and hope. Embodied spirituality is the best description of where life leads Marci and the people she accompanies along the way.
