Senses & Perception: SomaticBODY open workshop November

Join us for the next open workshop of Somatic Body Training by Christine Cole, October 23-26th 2018 in Putney, Vermont! Our senses connect us and illuminate the world for us. In this workshop we will travel through the senses, their embryological origins, their function and integration into our lives. Touch, taste, balance, proprioception, hearing, smelling and vision. Somatizations and movement explorations will allow students to discover their own pathways of these special senses and their role in development. We will learn through movement, touch and discussion, how scientific-based information is embodied into experience and somatization. Dates: November 26th-30th 9am-6pm, with extra evening activities. @The Apple Picking House in Putney, Vermont Prices: Workshop: 325$-450$ Sliding scale Housing: 80$ total Meals: Approx 10$ per day.

Students will be guided through their own embodiment of anatomical structures, and will learn kinesthetically through observation and movement repatterning, as well as engage with these concepts through creative expression in dance, performance, writing and teaching. This experience of community using the body and somatic practices of development allows Somatic Body students to build resonance and clarity of presence in themselves and gain the ability to encourage change, healing and transformation of the body/ mind in others.
