If you are interested in attending the weekend-long InterPlay retreat with Masankho Banda, see the posting for Cultures of Peace: An InterPlay "Untensive" Retreat.InterPlay is an active creative approach to unlocking the wisdom of the body. It is used to uplift inherent creativity and resourcefulness, build bridges and promote peace. We play with our unique ethnicity, spirituality, geography, learning styles, sexuality, economics, gifts and challenges.You can expect to move your body, use your voice, tell mundane and meaningful stories, have stillness, and most importantly have FUN. Playful self-care is part of social change.Masankho Banda has worked to build peace for the past 15 years around the world using InterPlay’s powerful, practical ideas and system of improvisational forms. Masankho received the Unsung Hero of Compassion Award from His Holiness the Dalai Lama in May 2001.InterPlay is happening in over 50 cities and on 5 continents. InterPlay is applied in prisons and recovery centers, therapy practices, and hospice work. It is increasingly used in organizational development and community building, cross-cultural peacemaking, and as a personal spiritual practice.Questions?
