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 program into the forms and tools of InterPlay is most effective when the group can stay 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.
The Secrets of InterPlay multi-day event is part of the Life Practice Program. You can attend any Secrets of InterPlay weekend at any time, before or after the Life Practice weekends, to complete the program. Attending a Secrets of InterPlay is an important element if you wish to go on to the InterPlay Leader Training Program.
