in innocence...the essence of us all."

Playgroups Interplay playgroups use simple,
easy-to-learn incremental forms to allow participants to "make stuff up" in the
moment. Using movement and stillness, silence and sound, people create and share
their own stories. Stay light, go deep: whatever feels right in the moment and
you will discover energy, wisdom, joy and fun! Whether you have experience or
are new to InterPlay -- spark your creativity and celebrate your gifts in an
affirming community!
