In this interview, Leslie welcomes Cynthia Winton-Henry, author of "The Sacred Art of Dance," to discuss her journey into dance and how it became a spiritual practice for her. Cynthia explains how she started with ballet and then moved on to modern dance in high school, where she discovered her gift for improvisation. From there, she went on to develop InterPlay, a practice that honors the body's wisdom and allows people to connect with their own body wisdom through improvisational movement, voice, and storytelling. Cynthia also discusses the concept of being a highly sensitive person and how dance can be a tool for resetting and grounding oneself in this active, information-filled world. Leslie and Cynthia discuss the role of dance in different cultures and the potential for dance to be a powerful tool for self-expression and connection in all people. They also discuss Cynthia's new book, The Ensoulment Playbook. This interview is a beautiful exploration of the power of dance as a spiritual practice and a way to connect with the wisdom of the body.
