ONLINE
Fri-Sun, April 21-23, 2023 • Times listed below
Big changes worldwide are impacting people, animals, plants and the planet. In these uncertain times are InterPlay practices even relevant?
You are warmly welcome to join us to find out at the 4th Annual Side-by-Side International InterPlay Gathering, Fri-Sun, April 21-23, 2023 online. InterPlay has given us ways to cope creatively, and to connect and play across borders and beliefs. We’ve gained confidence and simple ways to tell spontaneous stories, dance and sing about our own worries, to dream and laugh together. We offer all that, plus time to witness, have stillness, and to discover new ways to connect and to be in daily life.
Previous Side-by-Side participants were ignited:
“I got to learn so much about my partner's values and hopes. A beautiful way to listen!”
"I felt strength in this community skin….learnt new moves….grateful for creative spark."
“...the slowing down - the Poetry that Comes out of the air."
Please come as you are. As we InterPlay together with our unique expressions, who knows what gifts will bloom, what we will co-generate for thriving in the entire web of life?

Meg MacLeod has been leading InterPlay classes and workshops since 1998: in the USA, the Netherlands, Scotland, Germany and Switzerland – in on-going classes, school teachers trainings, camp counselors, university dance and drama students, and at birthdays community celebrations and conferences. She has directed and performed in numerous choreographed and InterPlay (improvisational) concerts.
Some of her main influencers are the Work of Byron Kate, her 12-step recovery and Arnold Mindell's ideas on quantum physics, the Tao and the Dreaming body.
Earlier years.
As school teacher, she regularly directed performances starring the children or brought her musician friends to her school to perform for the kids. In the mid- late-80s as an artist-in-residence, she developed and solo-performed five interactive concerts using music, stories and dance/movement to teach social studies and ecology in 24 US states, Germany and the UK.
As a community activist for Walkable Communities in the 90s she produced several highly successful conferences and two organizations until becoming physically and emotionally 'burned-out'. She credits recovery of her senses and health to InterPlay and other systems and loves to share the playfulness and trust in her intuition and in life she has recovered.
Current passions are music and song-writing, InterPlaying and becoming more fluent in the Dutch language.
