We take advantage of an aspect of Anatomy and Physiology seldom discussed: Ubiety; the whereness of the body. The place where you are holds place in you. 

 

Annunciation

 

Even if I don’t see it again — nor ever feel it

I know it is — and that if once it hailed me

it ever does —

 

and so it is myself I want to turn in that direction

not as toward a place, but it was a tilting

within myself,

 

as one turns a mirror to flash the light to where

it isn’t — I was blinded like that — and swam

in what shone at me

 

only able to endure it by being no one and so

specifically myself I thought I’d die

from being loved like that.

                                                  ––Marie Howe

 

Sense of Well Being is a subtle sense and seldom listed. It is certainly not considered one of the Big Five of the special senses (and there are actually 7 or 8 or more of these (experts don't agree how many).

 

We explore the power of place, the poetics of space. Amazing things happen simply by orienting yourself within the field, staying with the trouble rather than avoid or run away.

 

Adventures in minimalism using quatities of orientation, Position and Preference, their influence on Well-Being, bringing this subtle sense into awareness. Set your internal compass, Well-Being you Polaris.

 

Crosses many silos of learning:

An exploration of Position

Deeply connected to Phase 7 of the Ortho-Bionomy® program.

Leeads to a deeper, more embodied view of Ethics.

 

Remarkable power to stimulate healing, metabolizing trauma.

Highly effective tools to use alone and with others

Great tools to have in your first aid rescue kit.

Tuning to your sense of Well Being.

 

I'm searching for an image, a picture that would represent my ideal place to hold these workshops. Some place in the midwest USA. A pleasnt just-so day. No wind. Overcast so never quite know where the sun is. Or is the best a patch of woods or forest similarly suited. But It's worked just fine in some of the outbacks of Australia.  Near to or far from large bodies of water. I've had a personal little miracle from it practiced in a jetliner at 30,000 feet over the Pacific. What space you we have will be ideal because part of what we do is make it so. We can play with or without massage tables, indoors or our of doors.

The vision is for Ongoingness; Life continuing on . . . .

I am I and my circumstance;

and, if I do not save it, I do not save myself.                       —JOSÉ ORTEGA Y GASSET

Changing the Conversation

I was born. I am always a vessel for something other than myself. The self is only a

vehicle for Foreign matter which comes from elsewhere and is destined to go on

elsewhere without me, whether it's words, smells, vision                                                      ––EMANUELE COCCIA  Metamorphoses

The Story Teller

Now, more than ever . . . our place in the universe and the place of the universe in us, is proving to be one of active relationship. That is more than a scientist's credo. The separateness of our lives is a sham. Physics, mathematics, music, painting, my love for you, my work, the star-dust of my body, the spirit that impels it, my politics,  clocks diurnal, time perpetual, the roll, rough, tender, swamping, liberating, breathing, moving, thinking nature, human nature and the cosmos are patterned together.

      —JEANETTE WINTERSON                Gut Symmetries

What you do, what you become, is not my concern.                      ROBERT MCCALL

 

 

Yes, there is beauty

There is love

There is joy.

All you who suffer from

the world's miseries

Defend them.

                         ––EEVA KILPI
