Upcoming Awareness Through Movement™ Workshops

Tuning In, Being Present

March 14 & 15, 2020, Winnipeg, MB.

“Improvement of talented people comes through their awareness of themselves in action. Their talent arises from their freedom to choose their modes of action.” ~Moshe Feldenkrais

This workshop is primarily focused on assisting counsellors and practitioners in other helping professions, but is open to all who want to deepen their capacity for tuning in and being present. Click here to register.

The more we can refine our own sense of ourselves and way of being, the more effective we can be in our work, and in our lives. Exploring and expanding clarity in who we are and what we do keeps us growing as professionals and human beings.

Practitioners are constantly creating and adapting on many layers of activity and awareness: listening, attuning to and resonating with clients, students, themselves, the environment. They are picking up myriad cues, many of them below conscious knowing; until they become aware and conscious of them. This tool of awareness makes possible increased refinement, and choice in action, thought and emotion.

Our primary tool is our self. This workshop will promote more awareness of the intimate relationship between our intentions and our ability to express them.

The Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education helps make the abstract concrete. You learn through interesting gentle movement explorations that immerse you in the experiential. These Awareness Through Movement lessons give you tangible, first-hand, felt-sense experiences through which to discover your patterns and new choices.

In this workshop, we will explore how improving attentional capacities, sense of embodied presence and bodily organization enables us to:

Maintain healthy boundaries
- Make finer distinctions between you/me/we
- Be present for someone without merging
- Be more comfortable and “at home” in your own skin
Provide more stable, grounded support for your clients
Improve your ability to make finer distinctions about what is happening with your clients as well yourself
Be more fully present in all your relationships
Become more comfortable with “not knowing”
- Learn to find greater comfort with discomfort
Become more adept learners
Live with greater clarity, comfort, and ease

Both days will immerse you in the joy and challenge of learning. The more you immerse yourself and enjoy the days, the more you can learn and integrate into your life.
