Why BIPOC ONLY?

BIPOC communities have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and racial oppression, as reported by sources including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Associated Press. While other communities have also been affected, the trauma faced by BIPOC communities—stemming from centuries of grief, loss, and systemic injustice—runs deep. For generations, these communities have pressed forward without fully addressing or healing from the hidden wounds beneath the surface.

InterPlay offers unique body wisdom tools and practices that provide release and relief, empowering individuals through Focus Sessions to heal and reclaim their strength.

***The Playful HUE is an evolving hub of connection within the Melanated InterPlay community. It currently includes two offerings: the monthly InterPlay BIPOC Points of Collaboration gathering, and the BIPOC Loving Container Focus Session, which is available by request. Together, they offer space for joy, reflection, and healing through embodied practice.***

Come be part of these BIPOC-focused offerings—see the list below.
Cost: FREE and donations to InterPlay welcome!

The celebration doesn’t end here—it keeps moving through all of us. 🌍

In this moment—when many grassroots organizations are navigating uncertainty and communities are being asked to hold more with fewer resources—we’re reminded how much mutual aid has always carried us. InterPlay has continued to grow and sustain its work through people showing up across regions, cultures, and borders with care, creativity, and trust.

As we carry the spirit of Give InterPlay Day forward, we’re here to keep showing up with communities whose voices aren’t always centered—supporting their leadership and the visions growing from within.

Across our 15 regions—from the Bay Area to Mumbai to Atlanta and beyond, including communities in India, Uganda, Malawi, Australia, and Germany—the energy, connection, and generosity we’ve seen are still unfolding.

If you’ve been part of this moment, thank you. If you’re just finding your way in, you’re welcome here.

Your support continues to nourish intergenerational transformation, mutual aid, and creative community care. We’re grateful for every contribution, every share, every act of participation that helps keep this web of change alive.

Let’s keep the momentum going—together.
