The Peggy King Memorial Fund

The Peggy Memorial Fund supports emerging leaders to access the body-wise tools of InterPlay in order to transform the future. The next generation of leaders are bringing their skills, talents, and passions into the system of InterPlay allowing for growth and creativity that goes beyond our imagination. We are honoring the legacy of Peggy King by supporting new and emerging leaders in cultivating and nourishing their leadership skills through InterPlay. 

She would have LOVED to be part of encouraging and listening to younger folks. Her zest, Play Prowess, and love of mothering would have blended into some marvelous nurturing pizazz around mentoring.  

A portrait of Peggy: 

As the 3rd child in a family of 7 children, Peggy was the smallest in body but large in BodySpirit.   She was both a rebel and a person of deep compassion and passionate beliefs.  

Her adult world centered in Seattle Washington where parenting became prime along with a career as a physical therapist.  Peggy was embedded in the Seattle InterPlay community and a leader in training when cancer brought her life up short at the age of 47, with four children, aged 7 to 14.  The Seattle InterPlay community rallied on her behalf and welcomed family & friends in helping Peggy play her way through illness, loss and leaving this embodied world.

INVOLVED & ENERGETIC - SEEKING BALANCE.

Peggy had an immense amount of energy, a great sense of dedication to her children, to her community and Unitarian Universalist church activism, to views and values about social justice, to her work as a physical therapist for hospitalized children and to being involved with InterPlay.

INNER AUTHORITY - CLAIMING HER RIGHT TO BE!

Peggy was small but physically strong, with a wonderfully expansive movement signature.  She first started InterPlay visibly pregnant with her son.  Peggy could be BIG, funny and tender.  Like many of us, Peggy had emerged from her dance training with some wounds around worthiness,  a sense of having fallen short and not feeling fully seen.   InterPlay nurtured Peggy's INNER AUTHORITY.  She joyously claimed more and more of herself and her right to be here.    

Peggy would have been a wonderful mentor and her spirit shines into the support these funds offer to emerging young InterPlayers!
