Awareness Through Movement® intensives.

Designed to de-tangle you from your work week and give you a new perspective on leisure and family time. Each month has a focus to help you more deeply experience the changes you wish to bring into your life. Refreshments include tea.

Balancing Acts - If there is one thing that makes us feel old, it is a sense of being off balance and therefore more vulnerable. This feeling causes us to avoid activities that we enjoy and that give us renewed energy. It's a downward spiral from there. In this session, you will increase your balance skills and feel more confident. Learn strategies to keep balance fresh and flexible. May 2

Mindful Walking - Use the underlying principles of the Feldenkrais Method: distribution of effort, discrimination of differences, focusing awareness, and weightlessness in gravity to explore how to use walking as an opportunity to reduce effort and move with greater freedom. Take advantage of simple and practical strategies to get more enjoyment out of your walks and your life. June 6

Healthy Posture - Moshe Feldenkrais viewed poor posture as one of the greatest misuses of the self. He focused his development of the movement lessons that make up the Feldenkrais Method on improving posture and the relationship to gravity. Begin or continue your exploration of your own posture. Learn strategies to define and  refine your own process. August 1

Workshops

Walking Your Grief

Fall 2008, Date to be determined by June 1

Location: The Dougy Center, SE Portland. This workshop will be of interest to those who have lost a loved one, lost a job, or lost a marriage. And, more "ordinary" life transitions bring with them the freshness of a new beginning, but also the shifting away from what once was. Within that shifting is the weight of grief and the lament of mourning. Learn to live life so that grief remains part of the everyday fabric but not the entire focus. Because grieving is a process and takes time, sometimes much time, we must find more contemporary ways to bring the process into our awareness. Kim will lead this workshop as a fundraiser.
