Many say that the InterPlay focus session is the most transformative part of their InterPlay journey. Focus sessions offer a unique way to play with something with the undivided attention of a facilitator. Just 30 minutes in length, they may or may not include the power of being witnessed by an affirming community.
This workshop is open to members of the InterPlay Leaders Circle.
In this approach, we focus on creating, not healing. We release expectation of working on our hard stuff—we trust the person to choose what they want to focus on. The time can be spent exploring current questions or concerns, building a skill, sharing pride in being good at something, gently nurturing oneself, or resting. Our body wisdom is our guide.
In this one-day workshop, InterPlay co-founder Cynthia Winton-Henry will introduce the elegant, down-to-earth focus session process that incorporates InterPlay movement, storytelling, and sound-making forms. Then we notice. In the workshop we will practice being an affirming witness and consider how to suggest forms. InterPlay leader and Grassroots Spiritual Advisor Soyinka Rahim will share experiences of using the focus session form in the BIPOC Loving Container.
You will have an opportunity to guide a participant, notice the different needs and styles of focus sessions, and consider ways your body wisdom can be useful in affirming others.
