There are 2 opportunities to experience this Life Practice Program—Zoom in from anywhere in the world online for all sessions. Or zoom in on Friday nights and join us in person in Atlanta for 4 Saturdays.
Immerse yourself in the system of InterPlay—ideas and practices that can move you from where you are to where you would like to be.
Find freedom through movement, story, sound, and stillness, and discover creative ways to change what you want to change in your life.
You may use this supportive, affirming community to help you shape your life in ways that are best for you. You will get individual attention from the program leaders who will help you identify your personal desires and intentions.
Although some previous experience with InterPlay is encouraged, there are no prerequisites for taking part in the InterPlay Life Practice Program.
The Elements of the Life Practice Program
• The Secrets of InterPlay, a multi-day event is part of the Life Practice Program. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the InterPlay forms and tools in a supportive community. You can attend a Secrets of InterPlay weekend at any time.
• A series of Friday evening and all-day Saturday gatherings, with your Life Practice Program group for play, presentation, discernment, and interaction, where you will have a chance to explore new creative possibilities in a supportive community.
• Receive three focus sessions during which you receive personal support from the program leaders to learn how to access your body wisdom, learn a new tool/skill, and apply it to whatever situation you desire.
• A Body-Spirit Celebration during the final Saturday to play with the InterPlay forms and share them with each other in a celebratory and honoring way.
• Reading and writing practices which will help you apply InterPlay insights to your own life and will be based on the InterPlay book Having It All: Body, Mind, Heart & Spirit Together Again at Last. The reflections can take many different forms: writings, letters, artwork, poetry, photography, etc.
• The InterPlay 8 Core Elements Self-Study that will give you a more in-depth understanding of the InterPlay system.
Covid Policy: Masks are welcome and optional. Please do an at-home Covid test before attending each gathering and do not attend if you have symptoms of illness.

Financial considerations need not be a barrier to your participation. Financial support and flexible payment plans are available. Please email info@interplay.org, or feel free to speak to one of the leaders of this program.
Life Practice Program Attendance
Community building is an integral part of the InterPlay system. To experience the most out of a Secrets of InterPlay weekend or the Life Practice Program, we recommend that you attend all of the sessions. This immersion into the forms and tools of InterPlay is most effective when the group stays together over time. If you are considering becoming an InterPlay leader, participation and attendance for the full program, including attending a Secrets of InterPlay weekend, will be necessary to complete the Life Practice Program, which is the first step in becoming a certified InterPlay leader. If you have questions about this please visit: InterPlay Leader Training Program.
