Class Calendar, Clinics, Workshops and Movement Lessons
WORKSHOPS
A workshop is a ~ 40 minute movement class with discussion before and after.* You don’t need to participate in the discussion if you don’t want to, and after the movement, if you feel that a walk or some private time would be your best way to integrate the learning, you should do that! (It is interesting, though, how much people seem to get out of the discussion.) Carie’s intention is to foster peer learning. Some of the most satisfying times have been when y’all learn from each other. You are also very welcome to watch instead of doing. That can be amazingly instructive. In the discussions, we’ll ‘workshop’ different moves based on what you bring to the class and what you feel while watching or doing it. These workshops are closely tailored to the students’ needs, and the classes are small.
The audio from the workshop’s movement lesson will be posted for you to download.
*The Neuroplasticity Series has hour-long classes + optional discussion.
CLINICS
A clinic is a spontaneous opportunity to address a specific issue: ‘I notice my knee hurt when I did this’ or ‘I tried to change my paddle angle but I keep slipping back to the old way.’ Soon, half the class is trying Carie’s impromptu movement lesson about the knee or paddle angle, some are doing something completely different that the situation suggested to them (which Carie will integrate into the mix) and some people are watching—which is very welcome and useful. These explorations can give rise to full-blown lessons in a later class. It is fun, it is quick, and it often addresses the presenting issue.
The clinics bring together people from the various series.
Clinics are more playful and interactive. They tend to bring a sense of community and sharing. And they are absolutely skip-able!
Conflict Wisdom is more like a group coaching for ongoing conflict topics. Carie has been coaching people about conflict wisdom for thirty years, but now there is a strong added element of Feldenkrais® embodiment. Carie will have ideas of basic teachings, but really the content will be driven by whatever is going on for people that week. There won’t be a tape, but there may be short, privacy-respecting write-ups. This time may also be a good place to drop in if your other Body Wisdom lessons are stirring stuff up and you want a chance to check in about it.
