InterPlay New Year's Untensive

InterPlay New Year's Untensive is a retreat at Haw River State Park, starting at 4:00 PM on December 30, 2026, open to everyone, including performers, writers, musicians and artists. It takes place at a retreat center surrounded by nature, with time for walks and meditation.

Sessions include storytelling, movement, dance, song, body wisdom and silence. The group marks the end of 2026 and shares hopes and visions for 2027. No experience is needed, because each practice is introduced step by step and there is no wrong way to do it. The organiser says InterPlay builds new neural pathways and sparks creativity and improvisation, and describes the group as accepting and loving.

Room and meals cost $500 per person for single occupancy or $350 per person for double occupancy. Tuition is a suggested donation of $75 to $250. Questions go to Terry McCarthy.
