Open Centre Weekend & Day Groups

March 2009

Bioenergetic Day

with Guy Gladstone

Sunday 8 March 09
10am-6pm, £55
March

2009
This group is suitable both as an introduction for newcomers to body-oriented personal growth work and an opportunity to go further for those who already have some experience in this area. Anyone who has not previously been to a group with me is welcome to phone beforehand to discuss coming.

Exercises will be given to deepen breathing, free the voice, release muscular tension and improve your contact both with others and your own inner process. There will be an overall concern with increasing your range of feelingful expression and opening to the experience of spontaneous feeling from the core of your body.

I will encourage participants to share issues from their daily lives and/or their experience within the more structured parts of the group as starting points for deeper exploration. There will be different phases to the day – the whole group working energetically together, occasions when I work with individuals and times when group members pair up to give each other support.

Touching, Pushing & Pulling:
Feldenkrais Method Workshop

with Scott Clark
March

2009
Saturday 14 March 09
10.30am-4.30pm, £40

This workshop is especially designed for people who do a lot with their hands, with computer keyboards, art, music or whatever else. It is based on the successful previous courses, repeating some of that material but also with new additions. We will use very gentle and small movements to explore the relation of wrists and elbows, shoulders and backs. These relations provide the means of support for power, agility, and comfort. Anyone concerned with RSI may find this useful.

(Phone Scott on 020 8469 0245 for venue.)

 Sexuality & the Heart Connection

with Silke Ziehl

21/22 March 09
Saturday & Sunday
10am - 6pm, £120
This weekend is about allowing us to be attentive to our reality as sexual human beings. Often we have learned to split ourselves in halves, and to only connect with either our heart or our genitals. Yet our body has deeper dreams of living, where love and excitement are included together, and our wholeness is affirmed.

When we learn to trust our own bodies, our boundaries, our needs and desires, we can ground our sexuality in the compassion of the heart, and we can ground our heart connection in the excitement of our sexual identity.

Using Deep Bodywork, we'll learn to become more aware of the shifting patterns of our own expansion and contraction, our opening up and closing down, our moving out and pulling back. Using our body as a guide and friend, we can learn to become more integrated and more alive.
