Ginny Going
As a recovering serious person, I consider InterPlay my 12-step program and my life practice for having more ease and grace. I've worn a variety of vocational hats in my life and currently describe myself as a community artist, bodyspirit mentor and InterPlay leader. I love offering people the "big body" tools of InterPlay for telling their stories, especially people on the margins of our communities. I am also passionate about embodied spirituality, engaging people in prayer and worship forms that include and honor the body through movement, stories and song. Currently I co-lead a SpiritPlay group for clergy and spiritual leaders, an InterPlay for Women group and a Deepening with InterPlay group for InterPlay leaders., Along with my partner and husband Tom Henderson I teach, lead retreats and perform with Off The Deep End Ensemble, the InterPlay-based performance group that we started in 1997.
