Course Description:
Somatic imagination is inherent; it allows our body to orient, move, & express, and it’s going on all the time. When we communicate in the language of somatic imagination our body listens! A Six-Day Rolf Movement® Course to experience gravity orientation and interpersonal resonance as fundamental skills for bringing presence, safety, and depth to somatic work. This course is an opportunity to notice moment to moment perceptual shifts through exercises that build a quality of shared awareness and sustained presence. Our biology is pre-wired to orient to gravity and to build a map of body, others, and space. We will learn to consciously sense the orienting dimensions within us; and we will learn how orientation supports the somatic movement education process and helps our clients & students meet practical and relational challenges in their lives.
Specific topics that will be explored are:
● Qualities of Movement Expression
● Interpersonal Neuroscience
● Resonance
● Language for Somatic Investigation
● Physical and Psychological Stability
● Improvisation and Witnessed Movement
● Perceptual Awareness and Gravity Orientation
● Qualities of Touch
● Evolutionary Movement
● Autonomic Nervous System self & co-regulation
