Body-Wise Groups: Leadership, Organization, Collaboration, Manifestation

What do you want to create?
Phil Porter and Cynthia Winton-Henry

ONLINE

May 7 & 8, 2021 • Friday 4-6 pm PT & Saturday 9 am - noon & 1:30-3:30 pm PT

InterPlay co-founders Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter share some of the body wisdom that has shaped their approach to creating and sustaining InterPlay. What are the ways to do the "behind the scenes" work that reflect the values of InterPlay and are also effective, efficient, and inclusive?

They will reflect on their creative relationship—its significant advantages, its challenges, and the mysteries of a good collaboration. They will share the personal experiences that led them to structures that dance between individual agency and group cooperation.

They will use InterPlay forms to demonstrate different models for following and leading and share ideas about the various aspects of "power"—agency, authority, autonomy, and responsibility.

They will talk about InterPlay as both an organization and a movement and share the deep dark secrets about how decisions are made. They will warn of some of the challenges that an organization might face as co-founders move "off-stage" and celebrate some of the possibilities that might present themselves in that change.

This event will include a fair amount of presentation, but also small group reflection and play. It will be an opportunity to hear from Cynthia and Phil about their experiences and have participants reflect on their own experiences and beliefs about organization and related topics.

Cynthia Winton-Henry
Cynthia Winton-Henry, M.Div., co-founded InterPlay and Body Wisdom, Inc., with Phil Porter. Her interest in supporting body and soul led her to curate the Hidden Monastery Online Dance Chapels and courses for those seeking the spiritual intelligence needed for our time at cynthiawinton-henry.com.. As an artist, auhtor and mentor, she can be found on Substack at The Dancing Center where her research into "what the body wants" in community arts, shelters, churches, businesses, classrooms, and everyday life led her to create the somatic curricula she needs to address racism, leadership for the Earth, and the Arts of Ensoulment. Featured on the Body Intelligence Summit, Spiritual Directors International, and as a credential facilitator for the Sacred Dance, her publications include What the Body Wants; Dance - A Sacred Art: Discovering the Joy of Movement as Spiritual Practice, Chasing the Dance of Life: A Faith Journey, and The Art of Ensoulment: How to Create From Body and Soul..
