Subtle movement for quietening the nervous system

with Philippa Castell

Philippa will guide you through a non-strenuous awareness practice from the Feldenkrais Method, using subtle movement, imagination and calming breath.  It's designed to help you unwind, restore, and refresh, and to enhance your ability to find deep rest, which is so important in any healing process.

You can join in with this session lying in whatever position is comfortable for you, or in sitting if you prefer.

Stream of consciousness - writing as an aid to healing

with Małgorzata Jabłońska

People have a special ability to capture their thoughts. It is writing. By writing down our thoughts, we can return to them to recollect, but also to reflect on them objectively. Writing has been an important form of self-description, self-reflection, and self-therapy. Self-disclosure, which consists of writing about one’s thoughts and feelings, is one of the important factors that make emotional writing therapeutic. Drawing on my own experience of many years of journaling in therapy, as well as recent research on the effects of writing on stress relief and its impact on improving cognitive processes, I will talk about some techniques and ways to use writing in the process of recovery.

Connect to Natural Movement 

with Anne Andenaes

Welcome to experiencing some gentle, natural movement to help you feel lighter and recharged as your body heals itself. The aim is to help rekindle the essence of your movement potential which is imprinted within us since we were a developing embryo. 

 

During the session, you will have the opportunity to sense any areas of heaviness or tension, lightness or emptiness and simply be encouraged to gently move through these areas using organic, rhythmic, non-linear movement patterns present in Nature and within ourselves.

Enjoy the experience of yourself releasing, lengthening, expanding, contracting, restoring and rebalancing naturally, without any strain or pressure.

Natural Movement helps restore the flow and rhythm of energy and power to our cells and systems by improving blood and lymphatic circulation for example, as well as encouraging gentle exercise for the respiratory system.
