The InterPlay Life Practice Program is an active, creative way to change your life and change your world. Immerse yourself in the system of InterPlay—ideas and practices that can move you from where you are to where you would like to be.

You will be meeting regularly over a period of time with a group of fellow InterPlayers. You may use this supportive, affirming community to help you shape your life in ways that are best for you. You will get individual attention from the Program leaders who will help you identify your personal desires and intentions.

Although some previous experience with InterPlay is encouraged, there are no prerequisites for taking part in the InterPlay Life Practice Program.

Elements of the Life Practice Program

  • “The Secrets of InterPlay,” a multiple-day retreat presented in several locations each year where you will be immersed in the InterPlay philosophy and practice. Find out when and where “Secrets of InterPlay” retreats are happening in the column to the right.
  • A series of meetings with your Life Practice Program group for play, presentation, discernment, and interaction, where you will have a chance to explore new options in a supportive community (usually eight monthly sessions Friday night through Saturday or four bi-monthly sessions Friday night through Sunday).
  • Three focus sessions during which you receive personal support from the program leaders to get more of what you want.
  • Reading and writing assignments which will help you apply InterPlay insights to your own life.
  • A Self-Study of several of the elements of the InterPlay system that will give you a more in-depth understanding of how InterPlay works.
