Nov. 25th- Embodying the Goddess
At this Red Tent gathering we'll play with the primal energies of creation, and experience the beauty, power, sweetness and joy of expressing ourselves with the InterPlay of simple story, movement, singing practices. Perhaps we'll make a collective peace mandala collage as a symbol of our coming together as sister spirits! Diane's PlayRoom is set up as a feast for the senses-- with music, sacred objects, cards, smells and bells, art, instruments, and lots of cushy pillows. Bring from home anything like this that is special to you and that supports your having your full creative energies. If rest is what you need, though, at this busy time-- just drop in and hang out! Bring food for our feast that you like and some to share, and we'll have a true time and space of thanksgiving.

REGISTER TODAY - Oct. 11-15th- SIDE BY SIDE SECRETS ONE & TWO, with InterPlay Co-Founders PHIL PORTER & CYNTHIA WINTON-HENRY! This will be an amazing time of creativity, community & change with "body intellectuals" from Oakland. See www.interplay.org for details. To be held at St. Luke's & the Global Education Center. Earlybird Registration Discount! Send a $100 deposit to hold your space.

Thursday evening through Monday lunch
Secrets One Option: This four-day workshop covers the techniques and body wisdom principles of InterPlay. Learn from InterPlay Co-Founders Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter about specific ways to deepen the practice of honoring body wisdom in you and your community. Secrets of InterPlay Level One is part of the core curriculum for those enrolled in Level One of the InterPlay Leadership Program.This workshop is also open to anyone desiring an in-depth introduction to InterPlay.
Secrets Two Option: Learn skills to effectively lead InterPlay in a variety of settings. What are the most important "forms" and how do we go about teaching them? Which forms work best in which situations? What are the bigger lessons being taught and learned? How do we want to relate to the people we are leading? The "focus session" form is also covered in this event. Secrets Two is a key element of Level Two of the Leadership Program. Those who have graduated from or are currently enrolled in Level One of the Leadership Program are eligible to take Secrets Two.

Both groups will play together in the morning and some evenings and then break out into two groups. There will be a community celebration, potluck feast and InterPlay graduation on SUN night at St. Luke's

Outta Da Blue presents:
Borders & Boundaries

Human beings are explorers of earth and sky,  always pushing further in our quest for meaning...and control.  Where do we create borders, and what are we choosing to keep out?  Where does our heart lead us to explore, expanding our physical and spiritual boundaries?  Who is hurt in the process?  In this era of immigration battles, corporate globalization and loss of personal rights, come explore with us how we navigate difficult waters, extend hospitality...and reach out to each other with love and respect.  PERFORMANCE -- Sunday, July 22, 2007,  7-9 pm
