Nature rests in winter. Flora and fauna slow down, and some even hibernate. Conserving energy is part of the cycle of life, but many of us human animals seem to ignore this vital piece.
Many of us were raised with the adage that the most successful people show up and give 110% in every endeavor, that working harder and doing more is the key to fulfillment. When we look around we see many exhausted people still feeling like there has to be more.
But what if.....our guiding principle was UNDERDOING? What if we were content with a B minus? What would we undertake if we approached it with ease? How would life in our bodies feel ? Our hearts? Would we have more fun?
In this workshop we will explore the radical art of UNDERDOING using the Interplay principles and forms. Join us!

Monisha Mittal
Monisha Mittal is
Certfied Leader (CL) and
Life Practice Program Leader (LPL) in the Washington DC region. Since 2018, InterPlay and a regular Dance Chapel practice has been an integral part of her Being and Becoming. She proudly served as a Dance Chaplain for four years since the pandemic which turned her into a poetry addict and spawned her
Poetic Revelations writing series (now named: The (tiny) Voice of Big Love). Now a Somatic Coach and Play Architect, she holds sacred space for others to tune into their Body Wisdom in one-on-one sessions, classes, and courses through her
Center for Somatic Leadership and Communication. She is grateful to InterPlay for awakening her authenticity, for the exponential connection and laughter its given her, and for supporting her daily recovery as a recovering overachiever.
