Secrets of Leading, which was to be held in Atlanta, is going all-online!
$200 discount for the Leader Training Program!
Same weekend, slightly different schedule. InterPlay Co-founder Phil Porter will be joining the leadership team. InterPlay has been shared quite successfully online for a while now and we are confident that the experience will be effective, illuminating, and fun.
The Secrets of Leading InterPlay is a multi-day workshop and a core component of the InterPlay Leader Training Program that leads to becoming a certified InterPlay leader. It is open to those who (1) have completed, or are in the process of completing, the InterPlay Life Practice Program, and (2) have enrolled in the InterPlay Leader Training Program.
The Secrets of Leading provides an overview of the InterPlay system and covers the underlying structure and philosophy of InterPlay. How are the forms taught? How do they work together? What is the ultimate outcome or effect of using InterPlay forms? How do you decide which forms to use at what times? How do you deal with people you find challenging? The workshop includes presentation, interaction, and play.
Schedule (all times are Eastern Time Zone):
Thursday 7–9:30 pm
Friday 9:30 am – noon & 2–4 pm
Saturday 9:30 am – noon & 2–4 pm
Sunday 2–4 pm
We're also hoping to organize some optional lunch hangouts and a "BYO" social hour.

For the past 13 years I've been immersed in the development and growth of the Leader Training Program and currently serve as the program coordinator. I love offering people the "big body" tools of InterPlay for telling their stories, especially people on the margins of our communities. I am also passionate about embodied spirituality, engaging people in prayer and worship forms that include and honor the body. It has been an amazing experience to participate in and teach InterPlay in many places around the world.
Currently the Leader Training Program is being reshaped to integrate Racial Equity and Transformation into all aspects of InterPlay leader training. This is truly an exciting and exhilerating time to be part of the world-wide community of InterPlay!
