  Attention: For those new to InterPlay
  The Open Gathering starts promptly at 10 am and breaks for lunch at 12:30 pm. The morning and the first 45 minutes of the afternoon are led by a number of different certified leaders, who introduce a theme for the day. From 2:00 - 2:45 pm, after the lunch break, InterPlay forms are led continuing the theme of the day. Then at 2:45 until close at 4 pm we have “Offerings”, where anyone can make an offering whether it be an InterPlay form or something else. Offerings is an open format where the participants determine the content. Offerings can be forms with multiple participants, a personal story, a poem, or an experience the individual would like to share. The person who proposes an offering must be a part of it. Participants are “at choice” whether to contribute or may simply witness the entire time. The offering time is oriented more toward experienced InterPlayers, so newcomers may wish to wait until they have experienced a few InterPlay gatherings before coming to the Offerings. However, participants who are newer to InterPlay may be inspired by the wide variety of offerings, play-ideas and improvisational scenarios that more experienced InterPlayers may bring up. Newcomers are encouraged and invited to experience the essence of play that each Open Gathering explores!

  Come for the whole day or however long it suits you.

  The InterPlay of Love: from Self to Agape

  Love has many definitions: A strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties, Attraction based on sexual desire, Affection based on admiration, To cherish, To like or desire actively, To thrive in. Whether a noun or a verb, love is the most natural and complicated thing in the world. What better way to address it than through play? Join me as we sing, dance, tell stories, witness, notice, and reflect. We will be playing with self-love, love of others, love of nature and a higher power. I invite you to bring a journal, as there will be time for writing/drawing.

  Cost: $35-$50 sliding scale
