Sustaining International Sisters (SIS) brings women together from around the world to connect, inspire, and learn from one another through InterPlay. SIS helps women break out of their isolation through monthly in person Play & Potlucks, where they share their stories, move their bodies and have the opportunity to exform trauma while integrating body, mind, heart, and spirit across cultures and generations. We are happy to announce that we have been back face-to-face since May 2022! Our SIS community consists of women of all ages who are asylum seekers, other international women, and American citizens living in the metro-Atlanta area. We also offer special programs, for example, in March, we hosted a half-day retreat, “Play, Pray, Eat,” to embrace Iranian and Turkish SISters suffering from political and natural disasters in their countries. 

SIS continues to offer Online Global SIS: InterPlay once a month. Launched in the fall  of 2019, Online Global SIS stays in touch and plays with women who left Atlanta and returned to their countries. In addition, this online SIS format attracts new SISters both from the United States and other parts of the world. Established in 2018, InterPlay Sustaining International Sisters (SIS) became a 501c3 nonprofit through the Body Wisdom office in 2020.  

InterPlay SIS is super excited to be offering an in-person women’s only Secrets and Life Practice in the Metro-Atlanta area beginning in August 2023. As many of our participants are in transition financially or living elsewhere in the United States, SIS will need financial support to include those women who want to participate in this amazing submersive InterPlay experience .
