An InterPlay BIPOC Untensive

Tending the Soil: Embodying Our Wholeness

based on the book 'My Grandmothers' Hands
Foluke Beveridge, Ade Anifowose, Janice Eng, and Joan Greenwood

ONLINE

Sat & Sun, July 24 & 25, 2021 • See times below

Join InterPlay leaders Ade Anifowse & Foluke Beveridge, and Leaders-in-Training Joan Greenwood & Janice Eng, for a rich weekend of exploration and play for Black, Indigenous & People of Color (BIPOC). We will draw from the wisdom of Resmaa Menakem's powerful book My Grandmother's Hands.

"Today we’re at a reckoning. We... have an opportunity — and an obligation — to recognize the trauma embedded in our bodies; to accept the necessary pain of healing; and to move through and out of our trauma. This will enable us to mend our hearts and bodies." —Resmaa Menakem

We know that there is wisdom in our bodies. Over two days, using InterPlay forms, we will explore resilience; healing our embodied generational trauma and "somatic abolitionism". Together, we will move through and out of our trauma, mending our hearts and bodies, so that we can express our natural power and beauty. We look forward to sharing this journey with you.

The event will take place on Saturday & Sunday, July 24 & 25, 2021, with two sessions on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Janice Eng
As a massage therapist for over 30 years, Janice became aware of the stories, emotions, unexpressed truths, and trauma that people can store in their bodies. When she was introduced to Interplay, she found it to be a unique, fun and empowering way for people to unravel and access these stories the body's wisdom. We are bodies in motion, bodies in relationship, and bodies in community. We have a spatial and kinesthetic intelligence that informs our inner knowing. Interplay is a creative, un-intrusive, and affirming way to process and explore what is true for oneself and for what is possible. Janice has taught Nonviolent Communication in the community for over 20 years, 10 of which she also taught in Washington State prisons, through an organization she helped found, the Freedom Project. She facilitates restorative circles in organizations through A Center for Restorative Solutions. Janice has a passion for racial equity and transformation and served as part of the Interplay Racial Equity Team for two years and the Conflict Resolution team for one year. For the last two years Janice has been working with substance use disorders and uses Interplay practices in all of her workshops.

Having been an InterPlayer since 2014, Joan's skillfulness manifests in her teaching others how to be joyful, how to develop playfulness skills, how to honor their own Body Spirit, and how to have the experience of loving their own body more deeply.

It can be said of her programs that many participants may learn to experience the wisdom of their own body creating healing within themselves and for the well being of others.
