InterPlay

 

Interplay is a highly creative method of gaining awareness of our inner self. We connect to our internal wisdom by engaging in seemingly simple, playful activities. This form of therapy was developed by Cynthis Winton-Henry and Phil Porter, and can provide immense and intense insight into the way we live our lives and interact with others. The therapy is performed in a fun and relaxed environment and is enjoyable to the participant. This easily mastered technique considers the heart, mind, body and spirit as equally relevant to our peace and fullness. The ultimate goal of Interplay is to facilitate change by removing the barriers created by others and our own expectations. Those who participate in Interplay find that it fundamentally changes their manner of living and allows them to fully and completely live life peacefully within themselves and their community.

Interplay: Based on Fun

Interplay is based on the premise of fun. It relies on this spirited element as a key tool to finding inner knowledge and teaches this dialect to its participants. Interplay strives to recognize the positive influences internally and externally as they relate to the person. Whether someone sees themselves as creative is irrelevant. The element of creativity can be learned and is offered in a whimsical, introspective, collaborative, and supportive environment. Interplay can offer relief of many negative emotions and symptoms, including stress, anxiety, pessimism, and despair.

 

What is Interplay Therapy Like?

Interplay is conducted through a series of “forms” that take a participant on a journey through story, movement, song, silence, amusement, and ease. It employs the body, heart, spirit, and mind in its effort to help a client discover their inner wisdom. In our modern society, many people experience fragmented and disconnected lives. The basis for Interplay is that everything is connected and in order to live a more vibrant life, people must reach out to every area of their experience and unite them so as to achieve fulfillment and satisfaction.
