~Working With Life Issues Through The Body~
The Body is not just a complex organic machine controlled by the mind. It has its own intelligence and often its wisdom is more beneficial than the impulses of the mind. The mind spends much of its time dealing with the complexity of relationship with others and often forgets about personal wellbeing. In contrast, the body intelligences have evolved with our wellbeing at their core.
This workshop will show how to contact these non-verbal aspects of the self through touch, movement, voicework and physical experiments and to enlist their help in living life. The techniques can be applied to working with others but essentially this workshop is a voyage of personal discovery.
You will learn how to notice the language that the body parts speak, through posture, movement and sensation and to experience the body as a group of intelligent agents whose lives are intertwined. Bones, muscles, organs, fascia, cells and physiological systems all participate in dealing with life issues. The everyday ego – the part that plans, explains and tells the story of “me” – is no longer the sovereign of this community. It is one member among many, with a particular gift for words but no monopoly on wisdom.
This Inner Community can support you in making decisions, dealing with anxiety, satisfying needs and in dealing with relationships. So they form an internal support group that is always with you. We will also share a daily Qigong practice that is designed to wake up and facilitate the dynamics of the Inner Community.
They will also be presenting a workshop on Dancing Joints and Shadow Work on Feb 19th – Feb 21st, 2027 (discount available for enrolment in both workshops)
