Come join InterPlay Seattle Co-Founders Krista Harris & Ingrid Hurlen, with Eric Chappelle, for a fun exploration of Family Lineage, Heritage and what foundational principles of InterPlay connect us all.
Krista & Ingrid first started playing together with the newly founded InterPlay forms in 1993. Krista encouraged Phil & Cynthia to offer an “away” program to help mint new InterPlay leaders from afar. They have facilitated numerous InterPlay Leadership and Life Practice Programs in Seattle. This is the first time they have co-lead a retreat since 2003.
They are excited to be assisted by InterPlay Seattle’s most recent certified InterPlay Leader, Marla Durden as well as Leader-in-Training, Janice Eng who are helping lead InterPlay into the future.
The Camp Burton Good Times Summer Camp will include times of spirited play, contemplative times for self-reflection, and opportunities to re-connect or connect for the first time with other InterPlayers from the Northwest and afar. Each leader brings their unique gifts to share to create the wonderful spectrum of experiences to welcome this time of healing and connection in these pandemic times.
Very limited number of single rooms available. Send email to make a request.
Leaders
Ingrid Hurlen
Ingrid has been InterPlaying since 1994 and has been a Certified InterPlay Leader since 1997. She co-created and led the InterPlay Seattle community with Krista Harris for many years. She re-located to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2013, where she has been a Creative Dance & Music teacher for young children and families and a loving caregiver/support for a number of babies and their families. When the coronavirus descended upon the world in mid-March 2020, her work as a teacher and caregiver abruptly ended and she has had the time to reflect, explore visual art and continue to InterPlay with colleagues online on Zoom!
Marla Durden
Marla came to InterPlay at the end of 2016 and has never stopped playing. She immediately began performing and was certified as a leader in May 2021. Marla is an alchemist, artist, energy shaman and coach who uses her gifts to create experiences that support personal empowerment, healing and transformation.
Janice Eng
As a massage therapist for over 30 years, Janice became aware of the stories, emotions, unexpressed truths, and trauma that people can store in their bodies. When she was introduced to Interplay, she found it to be a unique, fun and empowering way for people to unravel and access these stories the body's wisdom. We are bodies in motion, bodies in relationship, and bodies in community. We have a spatial and kinesthetic intelligence that informs our inner knowing. Interplay is a creative, un-intrusive, and affirming way to process and explore what is true for oneself and for what is possible.
Janice has taught Nonviolent Communication in the community for over 20 years, 10 of which she also taught in Washington State prisons, through an organization she helped found, the Freedom Project. She facilitates restorative circles in organizations through A Center for Restorative Solutions. Janice has a passion for racial equity and transformation and served as part of the Interplay Racial Equity Team for two years and the Conflict Resolution team for one year.
For the last two years Janice has been working with substance use disorders and uses Interplay practices in all of her workshops.
Krista Gemmell Harris
Krista loves moving and playing with people. She is a gifted teacher and master InterPlay leader who has a long history of inspiring people to find more joy, ease, and wisdom in being bodies. Krista has been leading InterPlay since 1993. She is one of the original InterPlay pioneers who helped create InterPlay communities and Life Practice Programs outside the Bay area.
Krista has an M.F.A. in Dance and is certified in both Laban Movement Analysis and InterPlay. Authentic Movement, Insight Meditation and Shibashi QiGong also inform and enrich her life and work. Krista has been an advocate for both deepening the experience of stillness in InterPlay and for bringing more playfulness into her meditation communities. Along with other InterPlayers, Krista is beginning to explore how the InterPlay tools and forms can be used to support social action education and change.
