 Bending & Lifting
Feldenkrais Method Workshop

with Scott Clark
Saturday 6 November 2010
10.30am-4pm £45
The actions of bending and lifting occupy so much of our daily lives – how can we improve such basic movements? How much would change, in our experience of ourselves and the world? Could this be, not just a practical guide to better movement, but an exploration of our humanity?

(Phone Scott on 020 8469 0245 for venue.)

 Bioenergetics Weekend

with Guy Gladstone

Saturday & Sunday 6/7 November 2010
10am-6pm, £105
How does my body respond to stress? How does my body help or hinder my self-assertion? Can I be spontaneous in an appropriate way? Whether or not you ask these or similar questions bioenergetics is about your capacity for pleasure and your available energy. Energy flows or doesn't within our bodies. we need to move downwards in ourselves to discover the involuntary core impulses of good feeling and how these have been interrupted by physical tension and emotional blocks.

Energizing exercises, massage, and work with posture and body image will be used in pairs and in small groups. Otherwise members' needs and their interactions will decide the specific emphases of this group. An overall aim for the weekend is embodiment of balanced functioning between head heart and gut.

PULSING Intensives - the Back

with Silke Ziehl

27/28 November 2010
Saturday & Sunday
10am - 6pm, £120
November

2010

PULSING is a style of bodywork – through soft rotary movements and rhythmic rocking of all parts of the body it gently releases tensions, feelings, and energy, expanding the tissues, nourishing the person, creating spaciousness inside ... It is deep Reichian work without being painful, powerfully yet softly affecting the whole body-mind-spirit.

Pulsing is playing with the rhythms of the body and allowing us to reconnect to them and it reverberates through all the body rhythms, harmonising them.

This Pulsing Intensive allows time for getting to know the basis of this kind of massage as it applies to either the back or the front, while focusing on expansion and contraction of the energetic wave and on following the natural pulses of the bodymind to reach deeper levels of integration.

The intensive can count towards a training leading to certification.
