A Weekend of Authentic Movement, at Gorse Hill, Bray, Co. Wicklow
We are offering an Authentic Movement weekend workshop on 27/28/29 March 2020.
The workshop will introduce the foundations of the ground form of Authentic Movement, an Embodied Spiritual Practice, which cultivates the practice of entering into Direct Embodied Experience of the here and now, with oneself and others.
The practice of Authentic Movement, AM, holds the intention to deepen and refine the quality of our direct embodied presence, with ourselves, with our clients and groups, and indeed in our everyday life.
The workshop can be counted as Continued Professional Development (CPD) hours, and is suitable for anybody who has already completed an in-depth training in the following areas:
· Psychotherapy with a body/movement component
· Drama Therapy
· Bodywork
· Yoga
· Somatic studies
· Any other depth body/mind disciplines
See www.gorsehill.net for more information on Joan Davis. Further information on Authentic Movement can be found under ORIGINAL NATURE, A Practice in Presence, the ongoing 3 year training programme in AM.
The weekend will make use of an Interdependent or Mutual learning approach, a model of relational learning that acknowledges we are all deeply interconnected, and our most profound learning comes through our relationships and interactions with each other.
Joan Davis will be working with assistant tutors Colette Lynch and Patricia Grey Amante.
