Infant Movement Development - Embodying Self through Touch & Movement

Instructor: Linda Hartley Certified Teacher
Location: Ashdon, near Cambridge, England England
Date(s): July 12-13, 2008
10-30am - 6pm
Fee: £120
Description: The workshop will explore the process of Infant Movement
Development from the perspective of Body-Mind Centering®. The
developmental process unfolds through a series of movement patterns
which lead us from our ‘being’ to our ‘doing’ nature: from bonding to
earth and mother, to establishing a sense of self, to reaching out in
play, creative action and relationship. The natural unfolding of the
developmental patterns underlies all areas of future learning in the
infant, child and adult - movement, perceptual, psychological,
intellectual and spiritual growth are all profoundly influenced and
supported by these early movement experiences. Embodying the
developmental process through focussed exercises and movement
improvisations can help us to clarify and strengthen the foundations of
our movement, and free energy for creative expression.
This workshop is a prerequisite for the training in Integrative Bodywork & Movement Therapy, beginning in September 2008.
