Part of Reimaging's Virtual Online Festival on Life, Love, and Loss
The Dying to Live Tour and Cabaret
The biggest dance you’ll do: Live and Die.
Cynthia Winton-Henry
Wednesday May 13, 2020 • 10:30 am–12:30 pm
She helps people get into their bodies. He helps them get out. Together they host a cabaret where life and death are something you won't want to miss!
Stephen Winton-Henry has served as a hospice chaplain, spiritual care manager, pastor, and grief educator since the 1970s. Losing a parent at a young age initiated him in the need for spiritual companionship through life. Cynthia Winton-Henry is the cofounder of InterPlay. Together they bring beauty, community, and presence into the biggest dance we do: to Live and Die.
In the first hour of the workshop Stephen and Cynthia you'll explore four body wisdoms for living and dying: 1) Death’s role at the sacred center of life, 2) Dying is not a solo dance, 3) Dying requires a herd of angels, and 4) We have an obligation to die wise.
In the second hour, Cynthia curates a "cabaret" for participants to solemnly and playfully share poetry, music, and dance to honor love, life, and death. The InterPlay approach welcomes movement, voice, storytelling, and stillness to help unlock the wisdom of the body in community life.
