Fundamentals of Body Intelligence with Priscilla Auchincloss, Ph.D., Authorized Continuum Movement Teacher Sundays, 4:30-6:30 pm 6 classes: April 17 - June 5 (no class April 24 or May 29) Special introductory rate: $95 (regularly $120)
The "Fundamentals" course guides you through
the first stages of accessing and exploring the territory of the
body. Each class builds a sequence of breath, sound, and
micromovement as a starting point for movement exploration. Different
elements of the practice will be added week by week.
You will feel how your system unfolds in response to this new way of
working with your body, and how insight emerges in the process. The
course is structured to give you a sense of the work as a whole, and
equally important, to offer you a variety of movement resources.
In addition to practice, the course covers basic principles in relation to movement, such as
the nature of fluid
the role of sound
imagination and
identity
listening vs doing
the recovery of embodiment in modern
society
There will be "check in" times during each class, in the
understanding that it is important to bring forward the doubts and
challenges that come up, as well as the experiences of insight and
freedom. Indeed, insight often follows from daring to speak honestly
about difficulties. Furthermore, what one person says often helps others to validate and trust their experience.
