InterPlay & Meditation: Practices of Pleasure & Freedom

We will utilize forms of play, movement, stillness, storytelling, and mindfulness to explore care, compassion, and letting go as practices of pleasure and freedom using Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown as one of our guides.

We are supported in letting our inner critics take time off and to allow space for our authentic and spontaneous selves to be free and shine. The sound of laughter and the feeling of ease and letting go fill our space together. It is a form of joy to share the permission adrienne maree brown gives us to reclaim our whole, happy, and satisfiable selves as something that we all can do and something with incredible merit for each and every one of us and our liberation from suffering. For more about this, please read this blog post: https://embodiedheartmind.com/2020/01/24/pleasureactivism/

InterPlay is an easy to learn embodied form of creative expression that incorporates movement, sound, music, stillness, storytelling, and mindfulness for exploration of our interconnectedness with all beings as well as our connectedness within and in our lives. It helps us to connect to our bodies and authentic voice as well as bring ease and awareness to our experience. It invites people to learn new things about themselves and others. It can include improvisational and experiential movement as well as mindful communication and sharing in any other number of ways and forms.
