“Once upon a time…” We love to hear and tell stories! This workshop teaches ways to tell and move our stories, as well as new ways of listening and responding to other people’s stories. Experiment with stretching, breathing, moving your hand, 3-sentence stories…and in the process build very real opportunities for your body, mind, heart and spirit to play together with a process called InterPlay. You don’t have to think of yourself as creative. We can teach you that part with simple, incremental “forms” that lead us to ease, amusement and deep discovery. This program is suitable for adults of all ages and abilities – all you have to do is show up! You must register for one preferred session. With sufficient registration for Monday or Thursday, both times will be available to any registrant on a drop-in basis – Thursday mornings and Monday evenings.
Cost: $115 for all 7 weeks
