Hooplas!

The InterPlay community now has a new ritual called the “Hoopla!” which can be used to celebrate all sorts of life-transitions. We often have to jump through hoops to get where we need to go.

Photos of the “Blessing of the Hoops” at a recent retreat on Vashon Island in Washington and their use in the blessing of newborn Kairos, daughter of Leah Mann and Ela Lamblin.

Listen to InterPlay co-founder Cynthia Winton-Henry’s story about the development of the Hoopla!

Catch a glimpse of Cynthia’s Hoopla as she celebrated her transition ending her time at at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA after 27 years of teaching there.

InterPlay in Morocco

Diane Saliba Ault and Masankho Banda led a group of 20 InterPlayers (American and Australian) to Morocco June 3–15, 2008 on a mission of cultural exchange. They attended the Festival of World Sacred Music in Fes and met and played with extended family and friends of Diane’s son–in–law, Zouhair, in Rabat and Marakesh.

InterPlay provided the foundation for travelers to process their experiences as well as provide the bridge across differences in language and faith between the InterPlay travelers and Moroccan locals.
