What does it mean to be in ‘flow’? What does it mean to live from the creative energy of the body, instead of the racing thoughts of the mind? How can we melt away the blocks and internalized systems that keep us from our full liberation, creativity and authentic truths? How do we tap into the wisdom that we need—for our selves, for our creations, for our world, for these times?

Come join Nandita for a few hours on Saturday to live into these questions. InterPlay is a form of creative expression that uses storytelling, movement, sound, stillness and connection to unlock the wisdom of the body. It is something that anybody can do—no prior experience is necessary. The focus is on exploration, authenticity, and enjoyable expression. All you need is a willingness to engage. Expect to laugh, savor, and relax & to be surprised by what you can do!

This class is part of the Oakland InterPlay second Saturday Leader Showcase series. Come join us for two and a half hours of connection, expression, and play on the second Saturday of the month. Come to as many or as few as you like. Each month a different Bay Area leader will guide the group, using the forms of InterPlay and the wisdom of the body to facilitate connection to others and ourselves in the grounded, playful ways that InterPlay invites. These workshops are great for any level of InterPlay experience, whether you are new to InterPlay or have been to the studio many times.

COVID & Health Protocol: If you’ve been sick or been around someone who’s been sick in the last five days, please stay home and join us another time. Masks are welcome, but not required. We have high ceilings and run an air purifier. If you have questions, please reach out to the leader via the link below.

Transportation and parking: Our lovely studio is in urban Oakland. If driving, we recommend parking on major streets like Grand Avenue and Telegraph Avenue (and not 23rd) and not leaving things in your vehicle. If you pay for parking with the Park Mobile app it will be easy to add more to the meter virtually. We are also close to BART, several bus lines, and protected bike paths. There is good bike parking on Telegraph, and you're also welcome to bring your bike inside the studio.

Are you a certified InterPlay leader or someone working on your certification who would like to lead as part of this series? Please reach out to Amos Lans or John Diller via the links or phone numbers in the InterPlay Leaders section of the website. We welcome local and visiting leaders.
