Each session you will get an embodied experience of the InterPlay Forms & Tools. You'll unlock energy and insights through movement, word, voice, and interconnection at many levels. The facilitators have extensive experience leading on zoom. They will create an embodied spacious environment.

The Elements of the BIPOC Life Practice Program

• Retreats
Bask in the lively, creative, nourishing balm of a Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Community devoted to unlocking the wisdom of our bodies.

• 4 SATURDAYS: 1-3:30 pm ET (Dates TBD) for play and practice, building community, focus sessions, and art expressions.

• 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 retreat to play with the InterPlay forms and share them with each other in a celebratory and honoring way.

• Apply InterPlay insights to your own life through reading, writing and art expression.

• Online Self-Study and other tools of the InterPlay system that will give you a more in-depth understanding of how InterPlay works.

Life Practice Program Attendance
Community building is an integral part of the InterPlay system. To experience the most out of 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.
