What is an Untensive?

An Untensive is a multi-day InterPlay experience designed for deeper learning, practice, and connection. Typically held over 3–5 days, it offers an immersive space to explore a particular theme or area of InterPlay through movement, storytelling, play, reflection, and community.

It gives participants time to slow down, go deeper, build relationships, and integrate what they’re learning.
