Tender Toughness

with Silke Ziehl

6/7 March 2010
Saturday & Sunday
10am - 6pm,
£110

This Spring weekend, when all around us Nature expands boundaries with renewed vigour, we’ll explore the issue of boundaries and how they affect our relations with others and with ourselves.

When we learn to recognize and to respect our own and other people’s boundaries about space and time, about what we consider negotiable and what we will not allow in our private space, then we learn tender toughness - the toughness of clearly standing for our important boundaries and the tenderness of making very real contact across the now clear boundaries.

When we trust ourselves and others and clearly speak of what we will and will not do, our longing for contact and connection will show itself and we will again reach out to others with interest and curiosity, a sense of safety and excitement - and can be reached by others too.

Spiralling Down & Up:
Feldenkrais Method Workshop

with Scott Clark

March

2010
Saturday 27 March 2010
10.30am-4.30pm, £45

Some of the movements that we do every day are both demanding and telling: things like first getting out of bed, standing up from chairs or out of cars, bending to pick something off the floor. They are movements that ask the whole body to change position in a radical way. Feldenkrais, with his Judo background, was especially interested in how the human frame could learn from such challenges, and use them to arrive at greater ease and grace in ordinary life. Suitable for any age, any ability.

(Phone Scott on 020 8469 0245 for venue.)
