Please join Nandita Batheja and Rishikesh Tirumalai for an afternoon of fun and community. We both love InterPlay for the way that it welcomes the fullness of each moment - making space for whatever is present to simply be. Our stories, feelings, ideas and spirit are welcome to dance, wiggle, sing or quietly rise and release as we play. Your laughter and quietude are welcome. Your big and small, loud and soft, your multitudes.

Some themes we'll be playing with include:

• navigating uncertainty
• accessing our inner authority
• creating from disappointment and scarcity
• celebrating the whole journey of life

We'd love to explore these things and more with you! If you have any questions about the session, feel free to reach out to nandita.batheja@gmail.com.

*note: we will have a break half-way through for some light snacks and rest.

This class is part of the Oakland InterPlay second Saturday Leader Showcase series. Come to as many or as few as you like. Each month different Bay Area leaders will guide the group, using the forms of InterPlay and the wisdom of the body to facilitate connection to others and ourselves in the grounded, playful ways that InterPlay makes easy. These workshops are great for any level of InterPlay experience, whether you are new to InterPlay or have been to the studio many times.

COVID & Health Protocol: If you’ve been sick or been around someone who’s been sick in the last five days, please stay home and join us another time. Masks are welcome, but not required. We have high ceilings and run an air purifier.

Transportation and parking: Our lovely studio is in urban Oakland. If driving, we recommend parking on major streets like Grand Avenue and Telegraph Avenue (and not 23rd) and not leaving things in your vehicle. If you pay for parking with the Park Mobile app it will be easy to add more to the meter virtually. We are also close to BART, several bus lines, and protected bike paths. There is good bike parking on Telegraph, and you're also welcome to bring your bike inside the studio.

Are you a certified InterPlay leader or someone working on your certification who would like to lead as part of this series? Please reach out to Amos Lans or John Diller via the links or phone numbers in the InterPlay Leaders section of the website. We welcome local and visiting leaders.
