Following the New Years BraveSpace Playshop, (and also after the BraveSpace Level 1 Retreat in February), I will hold a 2-day BodyWorks Clinic.  As a ‘clinic’ the form of our time together will be performing bodywork with me on the other participants, and receiving a session yourself from me and the rest of the group.  If you would like to receive the work from the group without otherwise participating that may be possible.  Group size is limited to 5 people.  We do not need to be experts in order to converse in this way:  While obviously some people have honed their skills more than others, we all have intrinsic abilities to engage in this kind of relationship.  The clinic is offered with professional bodyworkers in mind, and everybody is absolutely welcome; you will be met in your curiosity.

Our bodies communicate directly through touch.  We articulate the language of touch through movement, and receive it as feeling.  Touching, moving, and feeling, we can deepen connection.  The fascial network is the structural framework and container for connection within our bodies—it is the fabric that holds our organs, bones, nerves, and fluids together.  These connective tissues maintain the tensional integrity, or tensegrity, through which we are whole and contained as organisms, and in which each part affects every other part.  We are also composed largely of water, finding our flow over land thanks to the containment the fascia provides.  Flow is a quality of fluids, of motion, and of energy.  With conscious presence we can attune ourselves to the flow within and between ourselves and others, and we can affect it.  Thus, touch is a powerful means for communion, healing, and play physically and interpersonally.  Studying touch informs many aspects of being human.

Participation in BraveSpace is not necessary to attend the BodyWorks Clinic, and the two will be well matched to each other.  The BodyWorks Clinic will be offered Monday and Tuesday January 3^rd and 4^th, and next on February 28^th and 29^th.  In this first offering of the workshop—January 3^rd-4^th—the price will be on a sliding scale from $300-$500.

Timing of our day will be dependent on the number of participants; plan on 9am-5pm.  Housing is available for out-of-town participants.  If interested please apply via this link, and also feel free to text me.
