WIN A RAFFLE PRIZE! If you RSVP to JoAnn Hansen at jhansen120@wi.rr.com by Wednesday, July 7th, and attend the event you'll be entered to win a cool prize.

Come experience your Five Great Freedoms: move, vocalize, tell, connect, be. Cynthia Winton-Henry, Co-Founder of InterPlay, will demonstrate InterPlay's surprisingly simple steps to help you notice and welcome body wisdom that you may not be using fully.

Learn why over 1000 people have been inspired to practice InterPlay, how they have ignited a global social movement of people remembering that freedom starts with us, and that actualizing freedom is more like art than work.

Cynthia will also read from her new books: Chasing the Dance of Life and Dance - The Sacred Art: The Joy of Movement as Spiritual Practice. She will sign books at the end of the evening.


TWO-DAY WORKSHOP

Praying the Body

Tuesday & Wednesday, July 13-14 • 9:30–4 pm

DAY 1: InterPlay as Soulwork
Too many words? Seeking peace? Want a practice that aims for joy? Wondering about body and soul?

Come for a soulful place to welcome the wisdom of the body through movement, voice, stillness, and sharing stories. Beginning with easy, doable tasks—one-hand dances, one-breath songs, hand-to-hand movement with partners and thirty-second stories about light- hearted topics—you will discover new ways to do the work of the soul. You will discover the direct relationships between InterPlay's practices and traditional prayer as well as learning many new ways to do soulwork.

InterPlay is great for anyone interested in reintegrating body mind heart and spirit in an elegant, creative manner. It also has great applications for spiritual directors, therapists, and clergy.

DAY 2: Deepening Our Body Wisdom

Cynthia plays like her life depended on it. One day she heard a voice..."These are the directives: Clarity of Vision, Efficiency of Energy, Courage to Love." This is what she plays with everyday. What are you playing with? If you are ready to move, breathe, give expression to your dreams, go deeper, claim your truth or just play because it gives you joy, this day is for you!
