Story is the song line of a person’s life.
We need to sing it and we need someone
to hear the singing.
- Christina Baldwin

Join us for this special three-day retreat where you will create, share and discover stories that will inform, inspire and heal. This unique retreat brings together the complimentary approaches of InterPlay, a practice devoted to fun through movement and song, and Voice Flame Writers, a writing method that connects you to the deepest truths of your soul. We will experience how the seeming ordinary stories from our ordinary lives give extraordinary gifts to others and the world.No writing or movement experience is necessary.
