Wai-Chin Matsuoka is adjunct faculty at Christos Center for Spiritual Formation’s Tending the Holy and served on staff and as coordinator of the Chicago satellite program and as a Facilitator for Alumni Development. She is also a trained supervisor for spiritual directors and a facilitator of her Soul-Tending Retreats. With more than two decades of experience in facilitating others into healing encounters with God the Divine Physician, Wai-Chin helps others “doula” new life from the ashes of trauma, change, and transition. Wai-Chin is credentialed as an Ensoulment Coach to guide others to live from the fullness of their souls, a certified InterPlay leader, and a Focused Energy Balance Index (FEBI) coach. These somatic streams add a holistic dimension to her spiritual companionship that is mind-body-heart-spirit focused.

Wai-Chin finds it delightful and satisfying to weave spirituality, somatic practices, soul-tending and InterPlay tools and forms into a tapestry of Love and Play. She especially enjoys shaping these tapestries into retreats, Body Wisdom Playgroups, and soul care workshops.

Mike used to try to gain love and acceptance by following the rules. Then when he went to an InterPlay retreat, he noticed that the other participants brought something else to their lives. They were allowing themselves to be guided by their bodies. Now when he leads InterPlay forms, he seeks to create an environment that allows participants to have whatever experience their bodies want or need to have at that moment.
