Strengthen your roots. Stretch your branches.

      Learn tools for community transformation.

           Connect to others in creative work and play.

*Moving Stories, Healing Stories* is an opportunity to explore spiritual 
enrichment and community renewal processes through story-work and -play 
in exciting forms of interactive drama, movement and other creative 
arts. Activities include:

* working with specific storytelling tools, exploring personal stories
* sacred times for telling our stories
* forums for sharing our skills, ideas, media and findings
* "getting into our bodies" with quietness and play
* personal and group devotional time
* sharing meals and supportive fellowship
* unstructured "free" time!

*Why Stories?*  During our year facilitating, performing and worshiping 
in communities across the U.S., we saw how universal stories and 
storytelling could be.  When we introduced storytelling pieces in 
workshops or worship services, we consistently heard murmurs of response 
from people hearing members of their community tell their own stories.  
The meaningfulness was unmistakable.  And so was the enthusiasm.  We 
wanted explore the story further.  What can we learn from our own 
stories?  What can we gain from witnessing others stories?  How can we 
learn and share this ancient ritual in our own community?  Join us as we 
answer these questions together.

Keynote leader Julie Portman will bring her *Life Stories Workshop* to 
the retreat, a unique method of unlocking the potential for all of us to 
discern and tell our empowering stories -- and to witness the power-full 
stories around us.  Julie is an Obie Award winning theater director and 
performer and a founder of Ki Theater in Washington, Virginia.

InterPlay instructor Judith Reichsman will facilitate a workshop for 
learning improvisational and playful tools to further explore the 
stories we have already generated. Judith, from Marlboro, Vermont, 
brings over fifteen years of Interplay experience and leadership to the 
retreat.
