The Move into Life Guiding & Witnessing Closed Group with Sandra Reeve

Wootton Fitzpaine, West Dorset  

I offer a closed group for experienced movers (maximum 12 people) to study and to research guiding and witnessing in movement.

There are usually two 5-day workshops and one 3-day workshop, so 13 days in total over 8 months as well as the requirement to practise a certain number of hours ‘guiding’ when you are at home and to bring those experiences back to the group.

When I first came across Amerta Movement in 1987, I was struck by how Suprapto Suryodarmo (and those training with him at that time) would move with people to transmit bodily understanding, rather than try to explain or to give verbal instructions. I witnessed hours of moving bodies transforming their movement vocabulary in a way that seemed to last through this process of being guided through movement … (later called ‘gardening’ by Prapto). At the time it seemed to me the most obvious thing in the world that a body in movement would respond directly to stimuli given through the guide’s movement, if that movement paid attention to atmosphere and to context, was placed openly in the space and directed towards the mover. 

I have since spent many years learning more about this process by moving with others. During this course I would now like to focus on how to guide an individual (or a group) in movement to support their growth and blossoming. This can be done:
  • first by witnessing movement − in order to perceive more clearly the movement of the other and to recognise one’s own bias 
  • and then by moving with them and by offering movements as stimuli for change.
Each person will have their own distinctive style in guiding others, so as well as establishing some basic principles, my job will be to support the evolution of your own particular way of receiving and attuning to the movement of the other(s) through your own moving body.

This course is by application only and open to movers with a sustained practice in Move into Life or Amerta Movement and who are interested in working with others, now or in the future.

Accommodation:
To keep costs down, I usually book cottages for this course with shared or single rooms. A shared room in a shared cottage will reduce your expenses considerably to roughly the same cost as camping locally.
 
Application:
This training is by application, as numbers are limited.
