The first step into the InterPlay Leader Training Program & in becoming a certified InterPlay Leader
The Secrets of Leading InterPlay is a multi-day workshop and the first component of the InterPlay Leader Training Program, which leads to becoming a certified InterPlay leader. It is open to those who have completed or are close to completing the InterPlay Life Practice Program. In order to attend Secrets of Leading, you must enroll in the Leader Training Program at the same time you register for this event. (See below.)
The Secrets of Leading provides an overview of the InterPlay system and covers the underlying structure and philosophy of InterPlay:
How are the forms taught? How do they work together?
What is the ultimate outcome or effect of using InterPlay forms?
How do you decide which forms to use at what times?
How do you deal with people you find challenging?
The workshop includes presentation, interaction, and play.
Schedule
January 12–15, 2023
Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 1:00 pm – 6:45 pm ET
Sunday: 1 pm – 4 pm ET
Attendance
The Secrets of Leading is an integral part of the InterPlay Leader Training Program. We ask that participants commit to and make arrangements for attending all sessions of this four-day event. We understand that unexpected life events can happen to prevent full participation. If this should occur, participants will be expected to listen to recordings of the sessions missed.
The next step after attending Secrets of Leading will be to register for the Teaching Practicum. Please go to www.interplay.org for more information on how to continue your Leader Training and to watch for the next available Teaching Practicum.
Continuing Education Credit
Up to 15 CE credits for various healthcare and allied healthcare professions are available for those practicing throughout the U.S. and for educators only practicing in Illinois. CE pre-registration is required before the start of your event. Email Ginny Going at colleagues.interplay@gmail.com to APPLY for CEUs. There is a charge of $25 per program. CEUs are offered through Continuing Education Institute of Illinois.
Enrollment/Tuition
Tuition for the InterPlay Leader Training Program is $1600. A $100 deposit is required to enroll in the Program, in addition to the $400 for the Secrets of Leading. Another $400 payment will be due when you register for a Teaching Practicum, at which time a payment plan for the remaining $700 balance will need to be set up with the Body Wisdom office. (Automatic monthly payments can be set up by credit card through the Body Wisdom office or you can arrange that automatic checks be sent by your bank.)
Diversity is a great gift in the InterPlay experience. Based on our commitment to Racial Equity and Transformation (read our statement here) and our understanding of other structural and personal inequalities that exist, Body Wisdom is committed to making our programs financially accessible. Financial considerations need not be a barrier to your participation. Financial support and flexible payment plans are available. To apply for financial assistance, email info@interplay.org. If you live in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC area, email rogerkadkins@icloud.com.
Repeating the Program
Previously certified leaders (regardless of the version of the program you went through) receive a special reduced tuition rate. The current program has new information and resources that will enhance your teaching. If you have not taught much InterPlay or have not taught recently, you may appreciate this way of bringing your skills up to date.
Tuition for previously certified leaders is $1,000 for the full program, which includes the Secrets of Leading, the Teaching Practicum, the Mentored Teaching component and a copy of the InterPlay Core Element Self-Study. Tuition for either the Secrets of Leading InterPlay or the Teaching Practicum is $350. Cost of doing the Mentored Teaching component is $350.
Cost
$400 for Secrets of Leading plus $100 to enroll in Leader Training Program (Previously certified leaders $350)
