TraceyJoy has been InterPlaying since 1999. She discovered InterPlay in the Twin Cities, trained as an InterPlay leader in Oakland for three years; live and led InterPlay in the Seattle area for 12 years before returning to the Twin Cities in 2022. Since her 20’s she has studied and applied a variety of approaches to accessing the wisdom of her body and healing. And, she loves supporting others to do the same. She spent many years committed to working on herself; working to become “good enough”. Thankfully InterPlay has brought a balance of levity, playfulness, and community to her life long, sincere explorations as a human being. She considers herself a “Recovering Serious Person”.

Marci (she/her) is commited to delight, awe, and laughter in the midst of a world that needs these more now than ever. Life also has presented opportunities to go deep into suffering close to home and around the world. Working with groups and individuals in their grief and processing what empowers others has been a lifelong activity. She has worked as a Chaplain for over 25 years in Hospice and Trauma Hospitals. During the pandemic InterPlay tools provided her body and soul refuge and a semblance of sanity. The ocean and mountains and daily noticiings of nature also have provide solace, comfort, healing, and hope. Embodied spirituality is the best description of where life leads Marci and the people she accompanies along the way.
