August 23rd - August 25th
Join us for this emergent experience of choosing your own adventure. We will co-create this experience where participants can offer workshops, games, performances, sing-alongs, hikes, play with goats or relax by the spring-fed lake. Your organizers will be offering InterPlay, clowning, and up-cycling workshops. But there will be more! We even have an indoor space to facilitate.
There is a kitchen for us to use so we expect people to help with cooking, cleaning, fire tending and co-creating this experience.
There are bathrooms and showers as well as potable water!
Located in Bloomingdale, Michigan which is two hours away from Chicago! If you are flying in, we can meet in Chicago and drive together! If you are driving in, we can still meet in Chicago or meet there.
The place has camping and glamping options (glamorous camping). The camping option is to bring your own tent and gear. The glamping option is super cute bell tents with queen size blow up beds (bring your own bedding). The bell tents are 16.7 feet in diameter so you could even share the space with a friend - with someone bringing a sleeping mat or sharing the queen blow up.
These prices include food for the weekend and it is at the cost of putting it on. Any extra money you donate will be offered to people that need financial assistance to attend. The rest will be split amongst the organizing team. Please let us know if you would like financial assistance.

Blaize is currently a leader-in-training, and has brought InterPlay into her work crafting immersive and interactive body-based performance. She is a long-time resident of St. Louis, MO and a new-ish resident of Palo Alto, CA.
Sukhmani Kohli
Sukhmani uses theatre, clowning, body wisdom practices and her skills as an empathetic facilitator to assist others in releasing shame and practice self acceptance. She first experienced InterPlay in 2014 when she participated in the Arts and Social Change Millennial program in California. She has been leading InterPlay ever since. She believes practices like interplay are powerful entry points for moving through conflict and connecting with your own sense of magic, moving from scarceness to abundance. She works with children, young adults, working professionals, communities and organisations. She runs Purple Mangoes, a company of facilitators who call themselves experience builders, gleaners and artists.
