"Since Sept. things have changed. The world is dialing 911 in many languages. There is a tendency to close down, to try and secure ourselves. Yet this is a time of deeper calling, to become part of birthing a culture of wisdom, not war, of beauty, not fear, a culture fueled by creativity and love. It is a time to rise above uncertainty, despair and disbelief and to make space and opportunity to imagine and create different ways of living together on this fragile planet."

Interplay is being offered in a wide of variety of settings as a tool to build teamwork, co-operation and deeper understanding between people. It creates amazing transformation even in some unlikely places. A woman who offered an Interplay class to 21 women in PRISON in Texas had this story to tell:
"These women came up with the notion of playing with freedom, and they loved it. Being free, even if it's only for a couple of hours- it doesn't get any better than that. It was freeing for us as well (the women leaders/ InterPlayers who facilitated the group). Makes you wonder what we on the outside are doing with the freedom we have every day. Even the man who supervised it all said, "It was great seeing those women relating to one another that way." ...Most everyone surprised themselves and one another by what they could do and how fun it was. Thank you Cynthia and Phil and all the other InterPlayers who encouraged us to go for it!"
