Lisa Laing and Wai-Chin Matsuoka

ONLINE

2 Weekends

January 6-7 & 13-14

Saturdays 11-5pm ET

Sundays 3-6pm ET


This Secrets of InterPlay for Spiritual Sojourners is designed to learn and utilize the Tools and Forms of InterPlay for those of us with the desire to embody, deepen and enrich our spiritual practices, whatever they may be.

We will play in the fertile field of imagination, story, song, breath, voice, movement, stillness and witness, held in a container of supportive community.

We desire to cultivate an atmosphere of humor, laughter, silliness and fun while we play soulfully together. This program will offer opportunities to play with text (sacred & profane), poetry, ritual, as well as our own creative expressions while learning the “sneaky deep” InterPlay practices.

The Secrets of InterPlay for Spiritual Sojourners will give you direct experience in many aspects of the InterPlay system. It is also an important element of the InterPlay Life Practice Program for Spiritual Sojourners offered Online through several weekends TBD in 2024. You may also attend the Secrets of InterPlay for Spiritual Sojourners as a stand alone event.
