Gigi Koser Baradan
Gigi Baradan is a life-long student and teacher of many healing modalities, including laughter, play, spiritual deepening and flu shots. She has been InterPlaying for over 20 years, and leading for over 10. She says it keeps her flexible in both body and spirit. Playfulness has been a potent antidote to her conservative upbringing and to her "serious" profession as a pharmacist. Perhaps her favorite InterPlay practice is simply to "take a deep breath and let it out with a sigh". It's Transformative every time!
