PERSPECTIVES ON SELF-ORGANIZATION
An Advanced Training w/ Jeff Haller

Fri - Sun, June 6 - 8, 2008

During his San Francisco training program, Dr. Feldenkrais demonstrated how he could lift a person's head without changing the muscular tonus in his arms. The question is: Can you?

The quality of our touch and ability to move our students in FI is determined by our own bio-mechanical self-use and efficiency. This workshop will examine how we can work around the table with greatest ease, enabling us to work in FI with increased sensitivity and effectiveness. The principles we learn in ATM help us become efficient and effective, and can be directly applied to our work around the table in FI. How do we bring lessons from the floor into action?

What you learn in this course will apply directly to working with people in various aspects of daily life such as athletic performance, martial arts, playing music, dance and walking.

• Dates: Fri - Sun, June 6-8, 2008
• Times: Fri: 4:00 - 9:30 pm, Sat & Sun 10:00 am - 4:30 pm.

STANDING ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET
with Carl Ginsburg & Lucia Schuette-Ginsburg

Fri - Mon, Aug 8 - 11, 2008

How do we balance in gravity on such small feet and how does the structure and functioning of our feet influence the rest of ourselves above? Equally how do the head and the weight distribution in standing and walking influence how the feet are organized? In this upward – downward set of relations we can discover pathways to improving our dynamic responses to gravity. We will explore these questions through FI and ATM processes as well as explorations of skeletal structures and connections, and show how all this connects to an underlying neurological activity. Lessons will include pressing the foot on a wall, exploring C7 in relation to the feet, standing on a roller in ATM and FI modalities. To stand on our own feet in gravity is complex, yet through integrating awareness and intention with the dynamic reflexive activity available to us, we can improve ourselves and guide others to also learn.

• Dates: Fri-Mon, Aug 8 -11, 2008
• Hours: Friday 5:30 – 9:30pm, Sat-Mon 10:00am - 4:30pm.
