InterPlay Life Practice Program 2018

.

.

You are warmly invited to join the transformative Life Practice Program (LPP) in Scotland this year.

 

 

 

The Life Practice Program creates opportunities to:

  • Discover new ways of getting what you really want in life based on an ethic of play;
  • Deepen what it means to live from your natural, embodied self;
  • Connect to the wisdom inherent in the creative expression of the body;
  • Rest in a community that respects and affirms the wisdom of each individual;
  • Expand your sense of connection, play and possibility in the areas you are called to be in the world.

What: 

There will be 4 gatherings over the course of the year, within which we will play with InterPlay Tools and deepen our practice of the InterPlay movement, storytelling, and vocal forms. The experiential format includes individual, paired and group forms, presentations, discussion. Also each participant receives three focus sessions, where you will receive individual attention from the Program leaders and support in identifying your personal desires and intentions. You’ll have brief reading, reflection and writing assignments designed to support your integration and learning and the opportunity to connect with another participant in the program in between meetings.

Who: 

The program will be led by Meg MacLeod, assisted by Mairi Campbell, both certified InterPlay facilitators
