Ruth’s
gentle and engaging approach to InterPlay Alchemy brings magic and healing to
her community as we are led towards "Having it All"--bringing body,
mind, heart, and spirit together. Her enthusiasm, warmth, and knowledge of
InterPlay guide us towards personal insights and growth as we enjoy meaningful,
creative and playful experiences.

I'd never heard of
InterPlay until that moment I was invited! "Okay, sure thing," I
thought as I accepted the invitation to embark upon a two-month, soul-embodying
experience.
The best words to describe this journey are Playtime, Fun, Acceptance, Joy, Authenticity, Creative Delights, Liberation, Divinity...LOVE! I felt as free as a child twirling on a playground; as important to the Whole of All Things as the Sky; as full of Creative Expressions as the Louvre! Oh, did I mention that I felt...BLISSFUL???
Ruth GENTLY guided us through exercises that end at destinations soothing to my mind, heart, body and SOUL! And each place seemed more delectable than the previous!
I am so grateful to have been reminded of my "Lil DIVINE Self" in ways I had nearly forgotten! Excuse me as I go and (Inter)Play....

Interplay with Ruth
is great fun. She is well organized with interesting new ideas each week. She
illustrates the InterPlay forms very clearly while emphasizing that it is
always up to us to best adapt them to our own needs. Her experience as a
teacher does her well in this setting as she creates a relaxed and very
interactive experience of Interplay, as it should be. We have beginner
and experienced InterPlayers in our group and it all meshes very well. Its a
great high to take with you into your week.

I'm just finishing up
an 8-week class in InterPlay facilitated by Ruth
Schowalter and I've loved every
minute of it. She provides a safe, instructive place to play, express yourself
in ways you might not have thought of before and just have fun. I highly
recommend it to EVERYONE no matter your age or physical ability. It's FUN!!!!

I have truly enjoyed
InterPlay Alchemy for the past two months and am so grateful for the
experience. Ruth, you are an amazing teacher/leader. Insightful, creative,
enthusiastic, inspiring....and so much more. You have fostered the perfect
combination of fun, joy, and challenge. I love the transformative power of
InterPlay and how I'm able to reference and reflect from our practices and
noticings. My body is happier and my heart is more open. Thank you for all that
you have put into creating an environment that supports and sustains this
amazingly joyful and deep play.

As a teacher (of improvisation), I
relish opportunities to be a student. In Ruth's class, InterPlay Alchemy, the
thrill of discovery and the awakening of the mind and the senses that come with
learning, were present for me from the very first moment. Under Ruth's
tutelage, the class became a gathering place where we could each attend to our
individual needs and desires and engage trustfully and joyfully with each
other. From her place of deep knowing and love of InterPlay (as well as years
of artful teaching), Ruth excelled at synthesizing all the elements of material
and meaning.

This all sounds just like the Ruth I know. It's great to hear how the course was received by this vibrant group of players. Thanks for sharing.
