Penny Allport and Swara Inspiritations presents:
 

Dates:  September 23 - 27, 2010

Location:  Dream Lodge, Paradise Found, Wilson Creek, Sunshine Coast, BC 

In the moments before we move, our actions, gestures, and qualities of relatedness are largely pre-determined. In How Life Moves, through the story of biological evolution, we discover and influence the subtle movements that precede action. In a contemplative and dynamic space, we interrupt and unlearn self-defeating body habits and receive resources for continuing to do so in daily life.

In this workshop, we will restore the body's capacity to generate new movement pathways and resolve common musculoskeletal complaints, such as lower back, shoulder, and neck pain. We will engage the power of perception and imagination to revive the body's native intelligence, and free our fluid capacity to meet the physical and emotional challenges of daily life.

We will move as a group, in partners, and individually. The workshop will include dive time: opportunities to let the perceptive work land inside us, time for the brain’s hippocampus to digest and integrate experience. We will explore a broad range of perceptive and integrative activities that restore neural plasticity, the capacity to re-map body and action space.

This work is for anyone who wishes to make meaningful and lasting shifts in body function and body experience. For therapists, yoga, fitness and movement teachers, and healers, this work offers fundamental skills and tools for doing perceptive and coordinative work.

Caryn McHose has taught perceptual movement for over forty years. Her work was the basis of the well-known book Body Stories: A Guide To Experiential Anatomy by Andrea Olsen.

Kevin Frank is a Certified Advanced Rolfer and Rolf Institute Movement Instructor. Caryn and Kevin are the co-authors of How Life Moves, Explorations in Meaning and Body Awareness  (North Atlantic, 2006) They are the founders of Resources in Movement in Holderness, NH, USA.
