ONLINE
Thursday–Sunday • March 7-10, 2024 • Schedule below
Join us for this year’s online leader’s gathering as we are Weaving the Threads of Connection together.
We’ll be having four days of deep play InterPlaying with each other and sharing..
How do we feel called to share InterPlay?
Who are we as a global community?
How can InterPlay change the world?
This year we are offering two Leaders Gatherings and the first will be held online March 7-10, 2024! This Gathering will be cheaper, easier to get to, and will allow a wider range of folks to attend and we get to play with folks from all over the world! You can pick and choose the time slots that work best for you and match your “Zoom attention span.”
We will have whole group sessions, opportunities to move together in large and small groups, a whole range of informative, interesting, and playful workshops, and wonderful opportunities to see old friends and make new ones.
This event is open to all Life Practice Program and Leader Training Program grads as well as those currently taking part in either program (or who took part in earlier versions of either program). Art & Social Change grads are also welcome to attend.

For nearly thirty years, Sacil (Suh-SEEL) Armstrong has combined facts, self-care, respect, and embodied practices to guide people through tough discussions on topics like racism and oppression, so InterPlay was a natural fit. Her focus on mental/emotional wellness first helps clients get out of their heads and into their bodies so they can actively listen, accept facts they might otherwise avoid, and embrace personal change to support human rights.
Her roles in marketing for a regional science museum, public relations and adult programming for a library system, and leading a grassroots movement to reduce violent crime in a low-income, high crime “neighborhood” of 30,000 people prepared her for her current deep community and one-on-one engagements. As an award-winning facilitator, community program creator, Certified InterPlay Leader, and InterPlay’s Racial Equity and Transformation Director, she supports clients as they learn to connect with themselves, one another, and information in ways that reshape their thinking, beliefs, and behavior.
Sacil loves music, art, and laughter to set the mood for learning and transformation. She is a Certified Zentangle Teacher, and often combines abstract art as meditation with her social justice work.
Sacil is the founder of the Everyday Activism Habit, a membership community designed to heal with self-care, build confidence with knowledge, and stretch your comfort zone to stand against oppression. Learning and growing in community reminds us we’re not alone.
