INTRODUCTION TO AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT

September 26 and October 10, 2010

Edinburgh

These two full-day workshops are open to everyone who is interested in the discipline of Authentic Movement — a practice through which we experience life directly, moment by moment, through listening to our bodies. Participants will be introduced to the roles of mover and witness in this practice. You are welcome to join either one or both sessions.

The mover invites all of herself or himself, conscious or unconscious, to emerge through movement and stillness, by attending, with eyes closed, to the inner world of sensations, feelings, images and impulses. As we stay close to ourselves in this way, the stories in our bodies are allowed to unfold. The witness, with attentive and compassionate presence — not interpreting but tracking her own inner responses --- creates a safe space for the mover and enables the mover to feel deeply seen and acknowledged, a first step towards feeling more acceptance and compassion towards oneself.

In addition to supporting personal development, by giving form to less conscious aspects of our being, this practice provides a valuable training for therapists and others in relationship-based work. The mover/witness relationship mirrors that of the client/therapist. Particular attention in our work is given to the language skills of both mover and witness that enable exact expression of what is happening in each moment, uncluttered by projections and by the old stories we tell ourselves. When mover and witness speak together, the witness has the opportunity to recognise and own projections and judgments, coming to understand how they obscure clear seeing of another. An attitude of deep respect for, and empathy with, the experience of the other is cultivated. The enhancing of this receptive quality of clear attention can profoundly support the practice of all disciplines based on the healing quality of relationship.

Authentic Movement is also a meditative practice in presence, opening to the possibility of simply experiencing each moment directly, with a clear and spacious quality of awareness and without the habitual beliefs that restrict us to a limited view of ourselves. Mysteriously, this direct physical knowing of ourselves can widen to an experience that is larger than the personal,that partakes of collective or universal experience. In the very moment of fully being present with ourselves we may profoundly know our connection with all of existence.

All are welcome. Previous movement experience is not necessary. There will be the possibility of continuing participation in ongoing groups for those who are interested.

Cost: £60/£50 per day.

Time: 10am to 5:30pm

Venue: The course will be offered at The Sangha, a holistic health centre situated in a quiet lane in central Edinburgh. It is very close to the train and bus stations and all the city amenities, while at the same time enjoying a tranquil atmosphere.

A course with Dr Eila Goldhahn and Marcia Plevin at Penpynfarch, Wales, UK

Both Marcia and Eila have studied extensively during the 1990s with Dr Janet Adler and use her distinctive practices in their own work.

To both the creative imagination in movement, the fine articulation of individual experiences and the participatory, collective workings of groups are important. Both are qualified dancers and artists as well as registered dance movement psychotherapists in the UK and in the US/Italy respectively. Marcia and Eila both publish in their field and

work as advisors, supervisors and consultants at a senior professional level.

Authentic Movement Residential

Professor Helen Payne

28 August – 1 September 2010 Turkey

Our retreat environment for this five day residential is in a beautiful mountainous setting on the coast near Antalya

What is Authentic Movement?

Authentic Movement, pioneered by Mary Starks Whitehouse in California, enables a direct connection to the depths of our unconscious, accessing the rich resources of our intuitive wisdom expressed through the embodied word, image, sensation and relationship as well as through natural, rejuvenating movement. As practised with Helen it has a safe, self directed, non -judgemental and empathic framework. Founded on Jung’s concept of the active imagination and the collective unconscious, authentic movement also derives from dance movement therapy, play therapy, groupwork and spiritual practice where symbolic meaning is seen in physical expression. Participants learn to dwell more easily in their bodies, and to engage creatively with a direct experience of the self beyond words and concepts. It can assist in developing body awareness, self understanding, deep empathy and compassion, transpersonal experiences and kinetic meditation where mindfulness is crucial to practice. The roles of witness and mover are explored in dyadic, triadic and group formations. The retreat will provide ritual, witnessing and movement experiences, silence, verbal and symbolic reflective processes, as well as small teaching seminars. Studio sessions will be interspersed with reflection time in silence, opportunities to experience nature and artwork periods. Seminars will address questions arising from your explorations in studio time as well as those relevant to your professional practice.
