Life is a rhythm of work, play, and rest… and if you are like most of us you’re probably a little lacking in play and celebration!

InterPlay simply and easily creates life-giving connection and community.
The Seattle InterPlay community’s many teachers offer classes and events at various times during the year. We also invite guest teachers from all over the world to share their gifts with our local community.

For people who aren’t satisfied with simply dabbling in InterPlay, and want to jump in with both feet and a smile, we offer the InterPlay Life Practice Program.
