InterPlay Basics
Elizabeth Mendana Shaw
Oakland, CA
Sunday 3rd Sunday of each month Sundays Apr 20, May 18, Jun 15, 2-4:30 PM
Sign up any third Sunday to learn the first steps of the InterPlay system of leading, following, telling bits of our story, creating connections with ease, and keeping a sense of lightness in the process. Find out why some people consider InterPlay their spiritual practice and others use InterPlay in their professional and personal lives.
This workshop is a great way to get down to the nitty gritty of InterPlay. Walk, Stop, and Run. Lead and Follow. Hand to Hand contact. Babble. Dance and Talk. Tone and vocal play. We will play with these forms incrementaly, in community, in an atmosphere of affirmation. Come have an afternoon of play through voice, movement, story, and stillness.
You will also get a chance to
• renew your relationship with play and have more of it.
• Increase your ability to listen to your body wisdom through movement, voice, words, and stillness.
• rediscover how easy it can be to be with people who even for a minute enjoy being human in any kind of body.
• accelerate transformation through untapped methods that any body can use.
You can take this workshop more than once and learn new things each time. The InterPlay forms may stay the same but you are in constant change. We help it be a dance.
