Authentic Movement Expression: A Class for Men

All relationships are experienced as movement. The mover (student), often with closed eyes, begins to trust the compassionate witness (teacher) and dares to be truly seen, perhaps for the first time. In this class setting the teacher keeps the process safe and the students themselves are both mover and/or compassionate witness. This dynamic and reflective unfolding of your authentic Self is a powerful means of going deeper into your creative wellspring where real healing occurs. The waves of unconscious feeling come to the surface and the teacher creates a safe container for the hidden and unbidden to emerge and transform relationship to self and others. A class for men ages 13 and up. Dates and times to be announced. For details: Fanchon Shur, Growth in Motion, 4019 Red Bud Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45229; 513/221-3222; nowfanchon@aol.com
