Moving from Stress to Ease

Embodied Playful Practices
Kate Amoss and Ginny Going

During this time of loss and disruption, we can transform our daily experience from anxiety, tension, and stress into grace and ease. In this workshop you will experience powerful, accessible tools from InterPlay* that enable this life-giving shift. These tools are based on our birthright practices of movement, vocalizing, storytelling, and stillness. They connect us to the regenerative power of play. Through play, new neural pathways are formed that can reduce stress, heal trauma, and facilitate healthier patterns of interpersonal communication. As we explore the impact of non-judgmental, playful exploration on our autonomic nervous system, we will tap into the body’s knowledge and wisdom to promote well-being, clarity, and connection. You will leave with tools and practices to integrate this dynamic power of play into your life and communities.

*This is an InterPlay inspired event. InterPlay is a global movement dedicated to ease, connection, human sustainability and play. It is being successfully applied in community organizations, health care, higher education, business, and populations at risk in over 50 cities around the world. www.interplay.org Register at this link https://letsreimagine.org/3780/moving-from-stress-to-ease-embodied-playful-practices and share with your friends, family and community!

Ginny Going
As a recovering serious person, I consider InterPlay my 12-step program and my life practice for having more ease and grace. I've been InterPlaying for 27 years and have watched the blooming and spread of InterPlay all over the world with gratefulness and delight.

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!
