Leaders
Billy Amoss
Billy has been a certified InterPlay leader in the Washington, D.C. area for over 20 years. He delights in the power of InterPlay to bring us fully alive. Billy is the Executive Director of RVF, a DC-based non-profit development organization that finances and manages international children's health programs.
Kate Amoss
Kate Amoss, MA, LCPC, is an InterPlay Teacher and Professional Counselor in private practice. Trained in archetypal depth psychology, she has an abiding curiosity in all things hidden below surfaces -- deep roots, bedrock truths, neuro-biological processes, and ancestral antecedents. For her, InterPlay has offered the best toolbox of forms and practices with which to excavate the mysteries of ourselves and our world. She has decades of experience leading workshops, performances, and mentoring other InterPlayers. She co-founded The Big Yes Performance Group and co-led the InterPlay Life Practice Program in Washington DC.
Douglass Farnum
Since retiring, play deprived Douglass works hard at doing nothing. He finds that interplay complements his meditation and Non Violent Communication (NVC) practices. Doug co-leads life practice and men's retreat weekends in Washington DC. With more practice he hopes to have fun playing.
Liz Lescault
Liz Lescault, a visual artist and sculptor, has practiced, exhibited and taught art for over 40 years. She founded the DC Open Gathering and continues to coordinate the Open Gathering for the DC InterPlay community which serves the metropolitan region.
