Cynthia Winton-Henry and
Phil Porter
Oakland, CA
8 week class Tuesdays · 6:45-9:00 pm · Feb 21, 28, Mar 7, 14, 21, 28, Apr 4, 11
New Form! Both Cynthia and Phil are committed visual art makers. These evenings will create space for all of us-writers, artists, and doodlers-to gather. Come do the InterPlay warm up, move, and then Phil will offer some simple lessons on art and design. Then spend some time doing your own art-making. Bring your own projects or use some of the materials at hand. If you work best in the presence of others, this is a great place to hang out, feed your artist-self, and let your maker out to play. Drop-ins welcome.
Cost: $10-$20 per class sliding scale (modest materials fee if you use our stuff!)
Registration/Information: 510/465-2797

Leaders
Cynthia Winton-Henry
Cynthia Winton-Henry, M.Div., co-founded InterPlay and Body Wisdom, Inc., with Phil Porter. Her interest in supporting body and soul led her to curate the Hidden Monastery Online Dance Chapels and courses for those seeking the spiritual intelligence needed for our time at cynthiawinton-henry.com.. As an artist, auhtor and mentor, she can be found on Substack at The Dancing Center where her research into "what the body wants" in community arts, shelters, churches, businesses, classrooms, and everyday life led her to create the somatic curricula she needs to address racism, leadership for the Earth, and the Arts of Ensoulment. Featured on the Body Intelligence Summit, Spiritual Directors International, and as a credential facilitator for the Sacred Dance, her publications include What the Body Wants; Dance - A Sacred Art: Discovering the Joy of Movement as Spiritual Practice, Chasing the Dance of Life: A Faith Journey, and The Art of Ensoulment: How to Create From Body and Soul..
