The Practicum is a multi-day workshop that includes practice teaching by participants with self-evaluation and feedback from leaders and other participants, information on best practices in designing and leading InterPlay events, and teaching resources, such as sample class outlines.
Note: After attending a Secrets of Leading and before attending a Teaching Practicum, participants complete 12 of the Self Study Core Elements and record their completion on the InterPlay website Leaders Circle form.

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, and Certified InterPlay Leader, 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.
