EMOTIONALE ANATOMY

EMOTIONAL ANATOMY WORKSHOP: THE BACK AND BODY CHEST

englischer !! ROH ENTWURF !!

Content:

In this three day experiential emotional anatomy workshop we will learn how to gain a deeper understanding of our back body and chest, primarily through our own felt sense and touch. Body reading, group and paired exercises, demonstrations, Rosen Movement, practicums and the opportunity to share together, will support this learning. With the anatomy as foundation, the muscles, bones and fascia, their connectedness and emotional relevance, will invite us into the fullness of the inner world of our back and chest. These areas show us how we may protect, hide and give support in life and also express our tenderness. When we have the anatomy ‘in our fingertips’ we can confidently bring more range and specificity in how we use our Rosen touch to fully meet another.

Some key words describing the way of teaching, what to expect from the program:

• Establishing our inner ‘body map’ of the back and chest through led palpation and interactive exercises
• Learning how to feel through the different layers of the back muscles with guided practicums
• Learning what the back and chest muscles may emotionally represent through our felt sense
• Learning how to read and interpret the emotional holdings of our back and chest with body reading
• Learning how the anatomy of the back and chest can inform us how to use our hands, where to touch and how deep to go in these areas
• Learning through observation of demonstrations how to specifically apply this learning to the back and front body
• Learning through sharing to place words on our own experience and to witness and listen compassionately to others
• Embodying the anatomy learnings more deeply through Rosen Movement
