Mind Mapping Workshop

Integrating Complexity, Creative Planning and Sparking New Ideas with Deborah Bowes

Mind Mapping can help make sense of complex ideas, or deal with something that has many inter-related parts. It can help you break through old blocks in your thinking and bring to light new insights.

“I love how freeing the process is, and then, how focused it can become, along with helping to clarify my thoughts and thought processes. I got excited at how new ideas can come so quickly. So much richer than making "lists" and "outlines."

From the Ground Up

Self-paced Feldenkrais workshop with Elizabeth Beringer

During this short program we investigate how to increase support and comfort while standing and walking.

Comfortable standing depends on the weight being carried efficiently by the skeleton. The key here is efficiently. Between simply standing and feeling well supported and comfortable, there is rich terrain to explore. We work in a variety of different positions to bring fresh perspectives to the act of being upright.

• 3 Awareness through Movement Lessons

• Access to video and downloadable audio

"This was a great insight into moving in every direction with lightness and ease from the position of standing….There was a real multi-dimensional sensation of movement, not just space and a tremendous sense of lightness in walking where I felt like I was walking on the moon without gravity!" - Mhairi MacInnes, Feldenkrais Practitioner

Forces of Nature

Self-paced Feldenkrais workshop with Donna Wood

All through the day, in small and large ways, we open and close, expand and contract. In order to get up, you have to be down, in order to expand you need to contract. When we stiffen parts of ourselves we lose this flow and with it some of our strength and resilience.

During our time together we will delve into the power of complimentary movements and how this can facilitate improvements in one's overall sense of ease and grace in action.
