| Remember Your Bones |
| The skeleton
is the anti-gravity mechanism of the body.
By studying our own skeleton, we can find
the limits to our own movements. |

the neck is an area of considerable trouble

Healing with Humor: An In-Depth Experience in Spinal
Awareness -- Patrick Douce
Patrick Douce will lead an in-depth experience
of Spinal Awareness, a program of health and
healing (with humor). Spinal Awareness is a
way of learning that improves body awareness,
flexibility, posture, and most chronic and
acute conditions of the body. Taught with
movement, touch, and group interaction,
it is based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais,
Taoist-Chinese-Indonesian martial art, and
the Esalen experience.
Spinal Awareness emphasizes learning how to
move in ways that stimulate your awareness
and support the health of your own body.
Lessons inspired by Indonesian Silat will
also be used to stimulate the energy body,
effecting internal health and increasing
energy. Students will participate in floor
exercises that organize and integrate the
spinal column, and standing lessons that
improve better balance and fluidity.
The course will include hands-on lessons,
safe and noninvasive, to greatly speed
improvements. Fun partner lessons will be
intermixed to help bring about not only
freedom in the body but a return to the
childlike energy essential to us all.
