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.

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

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.

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. Call
