InterPlay in Education Certification Weekend

Embodied exploration, reflection, and play!

InterPlay in Education Certification Weekend 2026

Professional Development facilitated by

Consuelo Bryant, Matthew McClure, and Diane Rawlinson

Oakland, CA

October 8th - 11th, 2026

The InterPlay in Education Certification Weekend is a 20-hour professional development experience designed for educators, teaching artists, and facilitators who want to bring more creativity, embodiment, and connection into classrooms and learning spaces.

We’ll explore concepts of inner authority, child development, and inclusive pedagogy to help educators of all ages and subjects create learning environments that nurture imagination, empathy, and resilience.

This immersive training introduces key InterPlay forms and tools that strengthen confidence, build community, and deepen self-awareness for both teachers and students.

You will leave the weekend certified with the skills to teach three InterPlay forms.

Over the course of four days, participants will learn how to integrate InterPlay practices and forms into life and the classroom. Through embodied exploration, reflection, and play, you’ll discover how to access Body Data, Body Knowledge, and Body Wisdom to support both personal and professional growth.

This program serves as a stand-alone certificate worth up to 20 CEUs or professional development hours and can also serve as a pathway into the InterPlay Leader Training Program.
