SpiritPlay has become a staple of Seattle’s InterPlay offerings! Now in our 24th year, we have developed a wonderful community of faith and foolishness. This monthly series is for those grounded in Christianity who long for the spontaneity of InterPlay to help us navigate the wild & whacky, humble & holy journey of our lives. In this class we will play with embodying the lectionary, exploring our own sacred stories, dancing on behalf of our loved ones, singing our souls, and unlocking the wisdom of the body as instrument of prayer. For returning and new members alike. This year in our new location at St. Joseph Church on Capitol Hill!
Cost: $175 (paid in full) or $25 per month (paid in installments)
