InterPlay Kinship
Apr

InterPlay Kinship

InterPlay is an active and creative approach to unlocking the wisdom of the body. It is a system of guided, improvisational forms and tools based in telling stories, making sounds, creating movement, and having stillness. InterPlay integrates body, mind, heart, and spirit. Co-founded in 1989 by Phil Porter (originally a Bloomingtonian!) and Cynthia Winton-Henry, InterPlay InterPlay is a fun way to de-stress, reduce anxiety, and discover connections. It teaches the language and ethic of play in a deep and powerful way. Playing together builds community and fosters embodiment. The spill-over effect of InterPlay in daily life can bring more joy, ease, depth, and openness.

Maryellen May leads this workshop in the Unity chapel. There is no cost; however, a love offering towards Unity of Bloomington would be very welcome. Invite a little PLAY into your lives. Come and join the FUN!
