Body-Wise Groups: Leadership, Organization, Collaboration, Manifestation

What do you want to create?
Phil Porter and Cynthia Winton-Henry

ONLINE

May 7 & 8, 2021 • Friday 4-6 pm PT & Saturday 9 am - noon & 1:30-3:30 pm PT

InterPlay co-founders Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter share some of the body wisdom that has shaped their approach to creating and sustaining InterPlay. What are the ways to do the "behind the scenes" work that reflect the values of InterPlay and are also effective, efficient, and inclusive?

They will reflect on their creative relationship—its significant advantages, its challenges, and the mysteries of a good collaboration. They will share the personal experiences that led them to structures that dance between individual agency and group cooperation.

They will use InterPlay forms to demonstrate different models for following and leading and share ideas about the various aspects of "power"—agency, authority, autonomy, and responsibility.

They will talk about InterPlay as both an organization and a movement and share the deep dark secrets about how decisions are made. They will warn of some of the challenges that an organization might face as co-founders move "off-stage" and celebrate some of the possibilities that might present themselves in that change.

This event will include a fair amount of presentation, but also small group reflection and play. It will be an opportunity to hear from Cynthia and Phil about their experiences and have participants reflect on their own experiences and beliefs about organization and related topics.
